I have been in this field for about 25 years I am very compassionate about my job . Being in this field you want to make the patient feel that they are always independent never take away that right being caring loving understanding and compassionate knowing that you were there to meet their needs . The family members are also important because we are there to support them in this time of taking care of their family. Taking care of the elderly is not just a job is loving what you do and making sure that they are safe at all times . Some of my duties that I do for my patients is daily care, feeding if it's necessary, turning on a two hour basis if they are bedbound, taking their blood sugar if they are a diabetic , taking fragrant vital signs if necessary and being a companion to their love ones
