Private Duty Nurse For All Seasons

By Lila Bryant


Every year people across the globe will find themselves caring for an older family member. When this event happens they will hire a private duty nurse to take care of the elder. Sometimes these workers will work very long hours since they are responsible for another human being. The family unit is always grateful to have such concerned individuals on their payroll.

Older people have been known to move in with their children once they reach a certain age. This happens quite often in countries such as Japan. These are people who really value their elders and do not wish to leave them alone at any point in time. Unfortunately senior people have a habit of taking unexpected falls since their coordination is not always correct. One older lady with a broken hip utilized these people for quite a long time.

After her sudden fall she could not walk correctly anymore and getting dressed was a major problem. She felt great pain each and every time that she had to stand still. Her back was in great distress which made it very difficult for her to sit in peace.

This woman took the time to contact a local nursing service that was able to send a good person who was able to attend to difficult tasks. The younger woman who worked for this agency would arrive in the early morning to help the senior get out of bed and take a bath. Once the washing was completed the kindly servant would prepare a great breakfast for the older person. She made sure that the morning meal was very tasty and quite nutritious.

This elderly woman was very happy to have such a healthy meal and she thanked her caretaker over and over. Up next they would bundle themselves up on this brisk April afternoon and take a walk to the park. It was the perfect time of the year to smell the new flowers blooming.

The two women would settle on a bench and just spend time talking while they fed several pigeons. The birds were very happy to receive the bread crumbs that these women provided to them. After some time these two ladies would head back to towards the senior's house.

On their way home they would stop by the local grocery store and pick up a few food items that would be prepared in a delicious dinner. It was fortunate that this particular provider worked a twelve hour shift which meant that she could be with the senior until her bedtime. They ate their meal in total peace before the younger lady helped this older person into bed.

The duo had a nice friendly relationship that would go on for quite sometime. Sometimes these providers have an easy time with patients and in some cases they will deal with a difficult patients. A senior male who lived with his family members did not want to take orders from a service provider.
