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.

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.

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.

The two women would settle on a bench and just spend time talking while they fed several pigeons. The birds were very happy to receive the bread crumbs that these women provided to them. After some time these two ladies would head back to towards the senior's house.

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.

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.
