About Sharkaiel

Nursing Assistant /Home Health Aide) - Essentially, I provide home care for patients who cannot fully care for themselves. Trained to assist the elderly, disabled, mentally ill and terminally ill. My duty as a Home care assistant is to make their patients' lives easier and more comfortable. Some of these duties may include transporting patients to doctor's appointments, making beds, doing laundry, preparing meals, giving patients their medications or running errands. When it calls for patient's bandages to be changed, check vital signs or simply apply lotion to dry skin areas. Some light cleaning may also be part of the job of a home care assistant, even if only to maintain sanitary conditions in the home environment. Some patients may need help bathing themselves. For recreation, I play card games or board games with patients, because it is a way of keeping them mentally active and alert. Crossword puzzles or arts and crafts are equally helpful activities because they can absorb the patient's attention or liven up the day. Even sitting with patients in the backyard.
