I became a full time caregiver about 3 years ago when my grandfather stared to go downhill. He became sick and had lived in his own house with my grandmother. He was 94 and at the time 88. My grandfather who's mental status was completely there started to need a lot of help getting around the house, making food, cleaning, going places and etc. I have 4 uncles and everyone pitched in because my grandmothers mental state was starting to deteriorate as my grandfathers physical status decreased. I started to spend about 4 nights a week there trading off with mainly my dad and other uncle to make sure when they got up at night they didn't fall. I made meals, helped with showers, cleaning and just about everything else. My grandpa passed in 2017, and we had to take care of my grandma, who's mental status had completely deteriorated after her husbands death. We took rides, went shopping, got food, and had a lot of fun. She eventually got very week and we couldn't do it all alone. So we got her into grand pines, which is a amazing facility! They helped us through a lot but I really enjoyed just sitting with her doing my homework and listening to her be happy and just talk away. That's why I know I would love a job to be a caregiver, I love to be company and do little fun activities that I know the person I'm taking care of would enjoy too.
