I work privately for a family taking for 4 years taking care of the client diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I would provide companion care in the beginning as well as light cleaning, rides and meals. Over time I would also feed the client, dress and bathe them. Order and pick up groceries. Run any errands needed for the family. Take the client to appointments and any activities planned.

I have cared for my husband who was handicapped for seven years before his death in 2011. I have friends and acquaintances who have health problems, mental and physical, whom I look in on with a phone call or a personal visit. I enjoy being a caregiver because it makes me happy to make someone else happy.
