I have extensive experience in both the hospital and home care settings caring for seniors and those with illnesses. Recently I volunteered to spend nights with a friend who was in hospice. I have also been a patient advocate by providing transportation and attending medical visits as a 'second ear'.
I cared for my Father in his final days, bathing, medicines, make meals, drive him to his favorite spots when he no longer could. Lived in his home final four months, so met with nurses, hospice, etc. Grandmother: Took from Nursing home on trips to break up her routine, took her to lunch or where ever she wanted to go....
