March 2007 to August 2009
I worked with a 94 year old woman, who's name was Mary. She had Alzheimer's. She didn't have any family but a nephew who lived in New York at the time. I stayed with her during the nights on weekends mostly and a time or two during the week usually. I did everything for her, including preparation of meals, having her eat, (even when she didn't want to). I bathed her every night, got her dressed for the day and for bed time. I handled her medication, and gave it to her when I was there with her, woke up several times during the night with her, assured her safety, changed her bedding, things gradually got worse over the couple years until she was put in the hospital until she passed.
