Gastrointestinal Disorders Caregivers in Stonewall - 19 caregivers found

I was 15 years old and just started my freshman year of high school when I was placed in a class called Intergenerational Studies. For 2 hours each day I was taken to the nursing home called Golden Years there in Elgin, Tx. I started off just getting residents from their rooms to come and do activities with me. But it wasn't long and I was working side by side with CNAs, RNs, and at one point the DON had me shadow her for 2 weeks. I just got really interested and a few years after graduation and having my son, I pursued a CNA certification and was assigned the hospice hall and the "lockdown unit" which was occupied by the more violent patients and those with conditions such as Alzheimer's and/or parkinson's, as well as those with behavioral health conditions. I honestly just fell in love with everything about caring for the elderly. Even the hard and very emotional side of the care I provide is something I wouldn't want to stop doing. I would love to get my CNA back but just haven't attempted to do so since my husband passed in 2011. Since my high school days I have worked with all ages of people, from a 2 year old little princess to a 98 year old gentleman I referred to as Fred Astaire due to them looking like twins. He loved it and would smile so big when I walked in every day; and every day he would say "Good morning Ms. Judy (Garland). You feel like dancing the day away?" It's things like that for which I love my work. Please feel free to ask anything, I would love to tell everything now but there is just so much I've been blessed to have experienced with so many different people I'd never be done.

I'm a cargiver for 30 years, caring and very patient, and understanding.

to help people that can't do for their self. it makes me feel good about myself that i can help others. working at hill country community mh.mr. in fredericksburg, texas. i work all day and i will still go help others that need it.

I am an EMT and have always loved taking care of people especially the elderly. I took care of my mother who had ALZ in a facility until she passed from Covid. I especially love taking care of end-of-life patients.

I chose the caregiving career because of my love and patience for the elderly. Caring for my great grandparents and grandparents is what attracted me to this field. Caregiving is a very rewarding job. My love and compassion would be some of my best traits
