I have taken care of an elderly person for 9+ years. I started out just doing odd jobs for her as her health started failing I stayed on and helped working over 70+ hours in some weeks. In taking her to doctor's appointments, I learned wound care as well as more and more about dementia. While she was able I would take her shopping, visiting, and to her favorite restaurants. When she became wheel chair bound we took long walks. Another person I took care of was an amputee of both legs. I would transfer him from his wheelchair to the couch or to his 'potty chair'. Set out his cloths and make sure he ate what his diet called for. He was a diabetic.
