There is such a need in this line of work, but for the right type of people. I love this job and I come to work for more than a pay check.To be a great caregiver you have to be a person who naturally shows honor and respect to the elderly and those with disabilities. It is so sad that many elderly ones experience neglect at a time in their lives when they need more assistance. I am sure what they would like to say is found in the book of Psalms, it says "Do not cast me off in my old age, do not abandon me when my strength fails." Is not that the way any of us would feel? I have been trained to care for many different medical needs, including different types of breath machines and even how to clean and use a feeding tube.
