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.
