Elder Care in Paducah, Kentucky

I'm an
Individual
I have just retired from the Florida Department of Corrections as a Correctional Officer Sergeant of 25 years. I am 54 years of age with two grown children and four grandchildren. While working for the prison system I also worked part time cleaning houses for people, one of which was an elderly couple which I became very attached to. He is now 93 years of age. I cleaned his house for him for 12 years. His wife passed after a few of those years. They were together for 62 years before her passing. We still keep in touch by phone but due to my parents health I left Florida and moved back home to Kentucky after retiring to help care for them. In deciding what to do for employment, I decided that I no longer wish to be in the law enforcement field as it is very stressful and I want something with less stress and that I feel would be rewarding and at the same time would help out someone else. I enjoyed my time with him when I was there. We would talk as I cleaned his house for him and I learned a lot about his family and his life. I think that after working a job for 25 years that I really cannot say I enjoyed that it is time to settle into a job that I think I would enjoy. I would like to be a companion for an elderly person or persons. I love to hear about their past and hear their stories. It is always very interesting to see how they overcame their hardships and how they came up in the world and made it through the depression era. I respect them for all they have been through. It makes me realize how we as a society are so spoiled and take so much for granted. I think it would be a pleasure to work with them and hopefully they will consider me. Thank you..
