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.

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.

The old woman ate this meal with great satisfaction. In the early afternoon the worker and her patient went for a walk in the park for several hours. The caretaker would usually push this senior in a wheelchair that was furnished by the agency.

They would stop for a period of time and sit upon a very comfortable bench. These two ladies gave bread crumbs to hungry pigeons while sitting on this bench. When the temperature was cooler they made their way back towards the senior's nice looking home.

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.

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.
