Available for on call/wellness checks I am currently working 2 days a week for a gentleman with dementia, and formerly worked full time for a hospice patient with terminal lung cancer. She had a broken hip and was bedridden at the end. I stayed on for several weeks after her passing, assisting the family with her final arrangements. I also did extensive clean up of her townhouse, organizing, donating, arranging repairs, and readying it for sale. This was extensive, as she was a hoarder, and the townhouse was in a state of disrepair. I consider what I do a "calling" not a job, and I get great satisfaction from making life easier for others.
