My experiences come from personal experiences. I took care of my father with Dementia. Bathed, dressed, bathed, feed him and basically took care of all his needs. While taking him back and forth to Dr's. Approximately 3 years I took care of my elderly Grandmother until we placed her into a Home Care Center. That is how I learned how to cook. Approximately 2 years. My aunt suffered of strokes and I cared for her from time to time after she had one. Some were more severe than others. Helped with exercise, both mentally and physically. Help with her speech and ability to keep balance while walking. Off and on for approximately 9-10 years. I have helped my family members with their medical ailments and would like to help others as well be comfortable as can be.
