Hospice Care Caregivers in Potlatch - 2 caregivers found

What makes me a great caregiver is that I am a; hard worker, honest/open, passionate, punctual, reliable, kind/caring, compassionate, good listener/communicator, and organized. I want to be a caregiver because I have a passion for helping others, and through my time in this position I have come to love caring for the elderly. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is forming relationships, and shared experiences of joy and sorrow.

I am a great caregiver because I understand that one of the most important parts included in the care provided to an individual is companionship. Companionship is such an important part in care because a real human connection helps with mental and emotional well being. Taking care of physical well being is incredibly important but is only half the job. I learned this while caring for my grandmother near the end of her life. My experience started with her and moved on to caring for a wonderful woman named Majorie until she had to go into assisted living. After that I got a job working at a day program for adults with developmental disabilities. Each person I have cared for has taught me so much about doing my job better. They have taught me about caring for the whole person, not just their physical needs but their mental and emotional needs as well. The point of being a caregiver is to do what is necessary to make a persons life better.
