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.

Every household in America and other countries know that grandparents may become dependent upon their families when a crisis arises. Caregivers provide such great services for all people who are in need. They will bathe, feed, dress and do important events with seniors. Any senior living will feel very loved whenever these people are around. It is easier for someone to injure themselves as they become older during the years. An older woman suddenly found herself in this particular situation.

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.

This woman took the time to contact a local nursing service that was able to send a good person who was able to attend to difficult tasks. The younger woman who worked for this agency would arrive in the early morning to help the senior get out of bed and take a bath. Once the washing was completed the kindly servant would prepare a great breakfast for the older person. She made sure that the morning meal was very tasty and quite nutritious.

The old woman ate this meal with great satisfaction. In the early afternoon the worker and her patient went for a walk in the park for several hours. The caretaker would usually push this senior in a wheelchair that was furnished by the agency.

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.

On their way home they would stop by the local grocery store and pick up a few food items that would be prepared in a delicious dinner. It was fortunate that this particular provider worked a twelve hour shift which meant that she could be with the senior until her bedtime. They ate their meal in total peace before the younger lady helped this older person into bed.

These two women became immediate friends and their relationship was more than just caretaker and patient. An older male was going through a similar situation and he had to have a provider work with him during most parts of the day. This senior male was very cranky and hated the fact that someone had to give him a sponge bath every night. This caregiver had to make sure that the senior man did not run away from home since he suffered from dementia and this was a major problem for the family.
