Your wife is a special person for sure

My wife has been at the same nursing home for 26 years and has had various jobs. For the last 5 years doing exactly what your wife does

Between ships I worked there for a couple months doing handy work

I don’t know how people that work there permanently do it. It takes allot of compassion ang love to care for the elderly. Especially with demensia patients would don’t know where or who they are

Hats off for the people who do this

I’ve heard all the stories. Most upsetting is the occasion when a family member thinks their loved one is not getting good care. They don’t understand what it takes to care for their loved one. Part of my wife’s skill is to defuse that situation and explain why and how care is given

I don’t think I could do that job.
