Knowing A Great Private Duty Nurse

By Lila Bryant


People may need assistance once they reach a certain age and this can be very expensive. A private duty nurse may be able to come into someone's home and take care of an individual for a few hours. It is always great to have these caretakers on hand when things become too hectic for family members.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
