Afterthought

Checking on Theresa during rounds was an afterthought. After nearly a year working on this floor of the Alzheimer's home, I knew that Theresa never needed tending to at this hour. She had only just gone to bed

A beautiful post. Anyone who has dealt with a dementia patient understands. Sometimes its too hard for family so it falls to the caregivers. She was lucky to have you.

My grandma has Alzheimers; she's still at home and my dad and I care for her as best we can. I hope that when the time comes for her to be in a home, she'll have caregivers as lovely as you.

Thank you! I'm sorry your grandma is ill. Remember to cherish the good moments. They help you deal with the tough ones.
