Patient preferred to be alone

 Alone,is a word perhaps we may think quickly in common way,that most of us do,lonely isn't it,going further,there are various reason on why one is alone,and rarely,some people do wanted to be alone,this
maybe with a valid reason in which one is free to decide,whether or what they wanted,it is always a freedom to choose,as to say,some people are loner,and meaning,they wanted to be alone,and chooses it,which is their
comfort,some people wanted to be alone in a reason that,they don't want noises,they do preferred to be alone and in fact,they are happy and contented on what their daily routine,which is to be alone.

In Care giving,Caregiver will most likely to met some patient, which is a loner,whether an elderly patient or in all ages,this isn't a question on what ages,the point is,on what is the personality of the patient,truth is,every patient is different,different in personality,and different in health condition problem,some Patient preferred  to be alone,rather than having someone living with him/her together in his/her home,as we all know that caregiver will stay at home together with the patient at all times,which is the live in caregiver,and for the live out caregiver,whether working in day or in night time,depending on both party preferred time of work,or what is agreed on the contract sign by both the caregiver and the employer or the patient.

Caregiver must to be aware of having a patient that wanted to be alone,in the first moment,for sure is hard,adjustment will be tough at first,but with patience,means a lot of patience within the caregiver,and in fact,in slow mode, all will be fine as day goes by,it just take time for the patient to adjust,and accept that he/she need a caregiver to be there for him/her at all times,and living with him/her together at home.

Things to do, to gained the acceptance of the patient as follow:

* Communicate with the patient more often,this will help in process of both of you and the patient to know better each other,you as a caregiver,always find ways to engage a good conversation.

*Be natural,be yourself at all times,as much as possible,do often build a bridge for both of you as a caregiver and patient, to be closer and be attached as friends.

*Let the patient feel that you are there for him/her,to help and the person that he/she can count on at all times.

*Be honest,as honesty is always the best policy,and as precious as Gold.

*Do all the best in your ability as a caregiver to help the patient,in his/her recovery or to gain strength back,which is,if successfully done,smile in the patient face will emerged naturally,means the patient is happy of you,and the things that you had done for him/her.

*Connect dipper within the heart of the patient,in this way,you both will be attached and connect in a dipper pace.

*Do all things with heart,to help,and as a whole,in this way,the patient will feel it naturally,and the trust will be there for both of you,as patient and caregiver.and with the time moving forward,both of you will be true friend,as a best friend.
