Caring for the elderly have been a thing of great joy for me. The experience is quite challenging and rewarding at same time. I have looked after my Grandma,who happen to have dementia. It opened me up to selfless service, compassionate care and empathy. I am Nursing Assistant in JR Hospital. In our Ward, we take care of mostly elderly patients, patients with Dementia, Learning Disabilities, Delirium, Frail adults, adults with varying complex health challenges. I have been trained to work independently with little or no supervision. I am a good listener, have good communication skills, compassionate, kind and ability to work under pressure. I have also learned to be very patient when dealing with my patients. I help with toileting, giving a wash, making their beds, companionship and mobilizing those who find it difficult to do so without support. I respect and promote my patients privacy, dignity and confidentiality. I have been trained to take observations, do ECG, check and monitor blood sugar amongst other things. With trainings and experience I have gained over time, I am competent taking care of elderly people passionately.
