Answer:
The only grandparent that I remember from my childhood spent the last ten years of her life in a “rest home” because there were no skilled caregivers to provide help for her at home. With my parents working outside the home, I can still remember thinking how wonderful it would be if “Granny” could just be at home with us. Of course, as an adult, an RN, a teacher and a daughter that has lost both of her parents, I know there are not always easy answers to life’s transitional situations. My mom had vascular Alzheimer’s for 10 years. With the wonderful help of my brother and caregivers she lived out her life at home. Living at home may not be the best answer in every situation, but when possible, I passionately wanted to help families be able to keep their loved ones at home.
After my home health years, I began working as an instructor, teaching high school and college students desiring to enter the health care field. A cornerstone for many of their occupations was the nursing assistant training.
