As an Licensed Massage Therapist since 2000, I've had the pleasure of working with many Gerontology clients throughout my Massage Therapy career. I am also Certified in Gerontology and Cancer Massage Therapy techniques. Growing up, I was always the caretaker in my family. I became my fathers caretaker for the 2 yrs before he passed away , at the age of 92, in Hospice. We can learn so much from our elderly society. My dad would always tell me," I dont want to be in a nursing home", and I promised him he wouldnt, he was happiest in his own surroundings, who wouldnt be. We can learn so much from our elderly population.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
