Private Duty Nurse For All Seasons

By Lila Bryant


People may need assistance once they reach a certain age and this can be very expensive. A private duty nurse may be able to come into someone's home and take care of an individual for a few hours. It is always great to have these caretakers on hand when things become too hectic for family members.

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.

After hiring a home health worker things seemed to go much easier in her life. Her caregiver was able to do all of the tasks that she could no longer do on her own. The older woman was treated to a nice hot bath when she got out of bed in the morning. During the daytime hours this worker also prepared a healthy breakfast for this senior woman. The meals were always very healthy.

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.

Before going back to the house these ladies made it part of their plan to stop by the grocery shop. They could pick all of the food items that they needed for a great meal. This caretaker knew that she was giving great services to this senior who was in need. The meal was delightful and was prepared in the correct manner. Afterwards the older woman was done for this night.

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.
