...be positively sensitive to her/his needs.


"Where am I going?" asked by 87 year old woman. I saw her sitting alone at the recreation room. I told her, "it is lunch time and I need to wheel you to the dining hall." She was very happy after she heard that I will accompany to the dining hall.

In this wonderful place, a person at this age can be "forgetful' and not knowing what is the time and where to go. The lesson for me as a caregiver is, I need to be positively sensitive to her/his needs.
