saw or recall our beloved grandma or grandpa,they needed much more
attention and they're most likely a sensitive in terms of feelings,and
this thing must to be aware of, as a caregiver.
and must always take it in to consideration and a lots of patience,
a huge patience, most of the percentage of the elderly or senior
patient,they usually forget something,or doesn't remember what was
yesterday,and its not by intention,this is due to some diseases or ailment,
sometimes even in day by day conversation will be the same as yesterday.
The reason is just they wanted someone that will be there for them
to listen,to listen what was their past and comparing it in the present,
its so natural for most of the elderly patient.
as a care provider,you must to take it into the list for as the one
of the priority for the patient enjoyment,as this is what they wanted the most,
that someone will listen and have a good bonding by means of conversation,
they wanted that someone will truly understand what they wanted and
one that will be there for them to listen always,there are different kind's
of attitude and personality in each and every elderly patient,and the
goodness of one will always be a factors with the natural personality
as a person,as a caregiver,you must to know what is the natural personality
of your patient,and its something like,to dig dipper on what is the true
inner personality of your elderly patient,what the things that she/he
like the most and the thing that makes your elderly patient switch to
bad mode,and this must to be avoided,because its unhealthy for the
patient. you must to know better dipper on who is your patient,and
work from your heart and be there to listen constantly and let the
patient feels that you will be always at his/her side at all time,
as a best friend, not just only a caregiver that do the duties,but

the elderly person or in any ages,and on how the caregiver behave in terms
of personality in day to day routine as a caregiver.
