About Irene

The qualities that help me with elderly care are being energetic, compassionate and understanding. I was an activities assistant for a nursing home. I was often a companion to many residents. I enjoyed sitting with residents. We watched their favorite shows, read magazines, played games, etc. I love the connection I had with my residents. I also enjoyed the humor and carefree spirit of my residents. I had several achievements while working with residents. My favorite was of a lady that didn't like being around anyone. I began to visit her and she slowly began responding. After several weeks, we became friends and I would sit and talk about her family. One day, I invited her to Bingo and she accepted. She truly enjoyed it and I was so happy!
