Since 2018 I have worked as a volunteer for various organizations, where I assist residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease with daily living needs. I work under the guidance to help implement and support resident-care plans, which include providing services to aid in, physical care and psycho-emotional care optimizing residents’ quality of life. As a student social worker, deeply committed to treating my elderly clients with dignity and respect, my goal is to win their trust and alleviate any embarrassment or anxiety they may feel when in need for assistance with personal care. I also excel in planning creative activities customized to resident needs and physical/mental abilities. Examples include pet visits from a nearby animal shelter, game nights, outdoor concerts, card tournaments, art and yoga classes and spa days. It can be challenging at times, but I truly enjoy working with elderly residents. Though I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the residents, the ongoing lessons I have learned from them have in return made a lasting impact in my life.
