They are at a vulnerable stage in life and it gives me great pleasure assisting them with their daily living, not just the physical but also their psychological, social, environmental, emotional and spiritual needs. For those suffering from dementia it will depend on the stage of the dementia and may need different levels of care especially tender love and care. I have got very good observational skills and can detect when there is a change with an individual. I am fully aware of what to do incase of emergency while caring for the elderly.
