I nourish it, then pass it on. For the true meaning of caring is to love unselfishly with an undivided heart. I administer ADL's to my residents with respect and privacy. I give the best care possible, in hopes to earn their trust, therefore, creating a confidence that will endure. All residents suffer pain from losses.
Some residents hide behind a wall of untrust, rebellion, or rejection.
It is not my place to judge, or to change their disposition, but to offer kindness in empathy for their griefs. I respect their feelings, and most important I respect and protect their rights. I am their advocate and I will intercede for them. It is my duty to encourage them to step forward. To challenge rehabilitation with dedication and determination.
