Knowing A Great Private Duty Nurse

By Lila Bryant


Every year people across the globe will find themselves caring for an older family member. When this event happens they will hire a private duty nurse to take care of the elder. Sometimes these workers will work very long hours since they are responsible for another human being. The family unit is always grateful to have such concerned individuals on their payroll.

Older people have been known to move in with their children once they reach a certain age. This happens quite often in countries such as Japan. These are people who really value their elders and do not wish to leave them alone at any point in time. Unfortunately senior people have a habit of taking unexpected falls since their coordination is not always correct. One older lady with a broken hip utilized these people for quite a long time.

She fell off a ladder while trying to put up flowers outside of her house. People have a bad habit of falling in their own homes and this has caused many insurance rates to rise. This fall caused major damage to her spine and therefore she had to use a wheelchair that her insurance company paid for.

Within a matter of days she made a telephone call to a nursing agency which provided caregivers to those older people who were in need. This made her housekeeping duties easier once this person was staying at the residence. During the daytime this loyal assistant helped to bathe the senior lady and then she made her a nice breakfast. All of the breakfast meals that they ate were very rewarding.

After eating a satisfactory meal the women relaxed for a short period of time before making their next plan of action. They decided that on sunny days the two of them would go for a serene walk around their local park. This walk usually took quite a bit of time since the older woman was in a wheelchair.

They would stop for a period of time and sit upon a very comfortable bench. These two ladies gave bread crumbs to hungry pigeons while sitting on this bench. When the temperature was cooler they made their way back towards the senior's nice looking home.

The caretaker and her patient took the time to stop by the food store for some additional groceries. She had to prepare a good dinner for this kindly senior who had a big appetite. It was very peaceful when the two women ate their meal at this hour of the day with no sudden disturbances. After this was over the younger lady prepared her client's bed.

Their friendship had just started and it seemed as though it would go on for a lifetime. In another part of the world a very cranky old man had to obtain assistance from a provider. This was an old man who did not like to have people waiting on him and he could be very stubborn at times. He was also a person with dementia. His family had become very tired of this situation.
