My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Dementia about 6 yrs ago. I became her caregiver. And being that i took on that responsibility I really wanted to learn more about how to take care of the elderly. It honestly feels good knowing that you help another person do things they couldn't do on their own! Its also is such a rewarding experience to know that even just for a few hours out of the day, you can make a person smile and make their lives a little happier just because your there to help and make things a little easier. I was able to take care of my grandma for 5 yrs on my own. I provided her with the best care i was able to give! And in the end it felt so great just knowing that she knew she was loved and taken care of. I'm overall a people person inside and out! I very reliable and dependable. I have plenty of patience for all types of situations and I just recently lost my last patient of 5yrs. So i defintely look forward to helping those long term as well as short term.
