I had the pleasure of taking care of Mr. Willie at the age of 99 years old. He was blind, therefore, he looked forward to my visits. He would prepare his breakfast and fed him, give him a bed bath, exercise his arms and legs (he was bed ridden), wash his clothes and bed linen, read to him and later hold a conversation pertaining to the article(s) I read. I had to clean his room, walk him to various part of his apartment. (place his hand on my shoulder and lead him around). Make sure he would drink plenty of water, and give him, his medication on a daily basis.
