I'm sure Joan can give you more info. about working with Elderly people. What is intersting one of the last senses to go is your hearing. It is very important to talk to them. We get them out of bed and alot of them sit in Gerry Chairs and go the the Living Room where there is a tv, radio and activities. Most importantly the drapes are open and they get sun exposure.
I work part time - 48 in a two week paid peroid. Full time would be too hard.
