I am 18 years old but have had a lot of experience looking after the elderly especially those with dementia. My grandad has severe dementia. I have looked after him in hospital 24/7 for two weeks. I also looked after him for two weeks every school holiday. Furthermore, I had worked for a care home in Chester that my school had helped arrange. My responsibilities were to provide companionship and friendship, help to feed, cook and help them walk. I also would help them with basic hygeine and aid them when using technology. I thoroughly enjoy talking to elder people as I find that they have a lot of wisdom and knowing about their past is intriguing. Finally, my relationship with my grandparents is also what allowed me to fully appreciate looking after others.
