I have also done the shopping (groceries, medications, clothing, checking or going to post office to pick up mail) for the client, house cleaning, laundry, meal planning / preparation & even feeding patient / client. or just to give companionship to them, range of motion exercises & to assist with whatever their therapy regimen is. I have also worked privately and beside hospice and family members. I have measured input/ output per day, kept a running journal of everything done for client each day so that any family, medical staff, or other caregiver's would know what I had done & where to pickup on the patients needs for each day, as well as keeping in steady constant contact w/ all caregiver's & family members daily and noting any changes in the health as well as alerting nurses & staff members so that any issues could be addressed promptly. Just whatever the patient / clients needs are I have done. There has never been a job I was unable to master. I love to know at the end of the day that I made someone's life easier.
