I stumbled into it, first with my mom for 1993 until her passing in 2005 and then recently when a church member who was down on her luck came to live with us because at first we thought it was just for a place to stay. Within weeks we found it to be more. She was suffering from severe emotional trauma that caused her to have pseudo seizures, was suffering with depression, had early signs of dementia, vision loss (legally blind) and loss of hearing plus. She came to stay with us in 2011 and left us in December 2014 after seeing her through to get social security disability and social security supplemental insurance. Further when she came she lost her job due poor work performance and once her severance pay ran out we took care of her and obtained social services for her. I saw to her mental health visits once I got her diagnosed plus ensured she saw all doctor she had, took her meds correctly and made sure she keep as much dependency as possible yet with constant reminders to do what she needed to do. She finally move on into Assistant Living. I am not a CNA nor a nurse but I have done the job. Down through the years my family and I have taken others in who are down on their luck and need a hand up. I find that I care about people..
