Private Duty Nurse For All Seasons

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.

After hiring a home health worker things seemed to go much easier in her life. Her caregiver was able to do all of the tasks that she could no longer do on her own. The older woman was treated to a nice hot bath when she got out of bed in the morning. During the daytime hours this worker also prepared a healthy breakfast for this senior woman. The meals were always very healthy.

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.

There was one area in this park that they both loved dearly and it provided a sitting area. The women gave food to all of the pigeons that stopped by to visit with them. It warmed their hearts to know that they were doing such a huge favor for some of God's majestic creatures.

Before going back to the house these ladies made it part of their plan to stop by the grocery shop. They could pick all of the food items that they needed for a great meal. This caretaker knew that she was giving great services to this senior who was in need. The meal was delightful and was prepared in the correct manner. Afterwards the older woman was done for this night.

The duo had a nice friendly relationship that would go on for quite sometime. Sometimes these providers have an easy time with patients and in some cases they will deal with a difficult patients. A senior male who lived with his family members did not want to take orders from a service provider.
