Here at the Mentor Network, I have a number of responsibilities pertaining to my clients. I currently work the evening shift, meaning a time where all of my clients are up/awake. At the beginning of my shift I am to come in and catch up on the day, before pursuing my daily routine. After I am caught up with how the day went, I am then responsible of counting medications & my clients money, just to ensure everything matches. During the day there are scheduled medications such as tube feedings and actual capsules. After I have tackled the schedule medications at the beginning of my shift, I then prepare dinner. I am in charge of dinner every shift, making sure enough is made for leftovers, since we have some residents that work or go to a day program. We try to get as much outings as we can, wether if it's just for a small amount of time. We want our clients to be involved in the community as much as they can. The basics of my responsibilities are: Changing my clients regularly making sure there dry. I give showers daily for those who have them. During my down time I am to make sure the house is a clean environment, such as doing laundry and making sure their rooms are clean at all times. Just cleaning around the house, making sure it is as clean as you would want your house to be. So that's just the basics of what I do here at Mentor Network.
