I strongly believe in doing the right thing when caring for the elderly as they are so vulnerable and susceptible to harm. There is a sense of fulfillment that comes over me when I take the time out to properly take care of them. Example: nice clean bath, washing and combing hair effecting a bright look in their face, taking the time out to feed them if warranted, giving them walks, giving them very light exercises to keep the blood circulating just to let them feel a little revived, stimulating their brain with little fun stuff - just to make sure they feel good and happy. WOW. it just makes me feel happy when they are happy.
