I cared for a 96-year-old male with a heart condition and dementia. I was at his home 6 days a week, 7 hours a day, for 11 months. I assisted him with his daily routine as well as assisted his 84-year-old wife with household chores. I was able to learn basic techniques for care from hospice nurses and certified Nurse Aides who came daily. Shortly after that, I began caring for a 94-year-old male as companion, 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. We had lunch together and talked about our life experiences. My next patient, a 74-year-old man with terminal cancer, allowed me to care for him 4 months, 3 to 4 hours, 6 days a week. I assisted him with daily routines and doctors appointments together with his wonderful wife and family. My next patient and most challenging was a 62-year-old male with FTD. I stayed with him 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 8 months so that his wife could go to work. People with this condition have limited social skills and are prone to wandering. They require around the clock supervision. When I was not there, his wife would take on that responsibility. We eventually had to part ways due to the progression of his disease. I am grateful for the learning experience associated with caring for someone with dementia.
