No one really knows how hard it is to deal with a long-term care event unless you go through it. A lot of people often lose their patience when providing care to a senior who is a dependent of long-term care services. Especially when they have to deal with patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
It takes not only special knowledge and skills to work with older adults in the long-term care industry, it also takes compassion and affection. It takes enormous efforts to be able to work, care and serve our aging population.
Seniors in the long-term care industry have special needs, in order to maintain their well being and promote their physical, mental, emotional and behavioral well being. An article from Little Miss Vivacious shared her unforgettable experience working with seniors in the long-term care industry. Her experience presented a lot of difficulties and challenges but it taught her life's lesson as well, it was an eye-opening experience for her.
Thank you for sharing my experience with seniors on your blog. May it inspire others to think about their current situations before it's too late to change.
