A Private Duty Nurse Can Work Miracles

By Lila Bryant


Everyone in this world has to face the reality that they will someday become very old. Sometimes a private duty nurse is necessary to have around when this unfortunate reality happens. There some people who can take care of themselves for a very long time while others need help from others. Nevertheless these providers will always be around for everyone who is in need.

There are quite a few individuals who have their elderly parents or grandparents living within their household. This great worker can feed, bathe, dress and take the older person for walks at anytime. Many older individuals may break certain parts of their body at times since they become very fragile with age. A woman who suffered from a broken hip had to hire a caregiver to help her with daily duties.

She fell off a ladder while trying to put up flowers outside of her house. People have a bad habit of falling in their own homes and this has caused many insurance rates to rise. This fall caused major damage to her spine and therefore she had to use a wheelchair that her insurance company paid for.

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.

There was one area in this park that they both loved dearly and it provided a sitting area. The women gave food to all of the pigeons that stopped by to visit with them. It warmed their hearts to know that they were doing such a huge favor for some of God's majestic creatures.

The caretaker and her patient took the time to stop by the food store for some additional groceries. She had to prepare a good dinner for this kindly senior who had a big appetite. It was very peaceful when the two women ate their meal at this hour of the day with no sudden disturbances. After this was over the younger lady prepared her client's bed.

These two women became immediate friends and their relationship was more than just caretaker and patient. An older male was going through a similar situation and he had to have a provider work with him during most parts of the day. This senior male was very cranky and hated the fact that someone had to give him a sponge bath every night. This caregiver had to make sure that the senior man did not run away from home since he suffered from dementia and this was a major problem for the family.
