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.

There are quite a few individuals who have their elderly parents or grandparents living within their household. This great worker can feed, bathe, dress and take the older person for walks at anytime. Many older individuals may break certain parts of their body at times since they become very fragile with age. A woman who suffered from a broken hip had to hire a caregiver to help her with daily duties.

After her sudden fall she could not walk correctly anymore and getting dressed was a major problem. She felt great pain each and every time that she had to stand still. Her back was in great distress which made it very difficult for her to sit in peace.

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.

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.

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.

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.
