"I have enjoyed working with elderly since my time in college when I worked in a geriatric counseling facility. Getting to know the people is what the job is all about for me. The stories and life experiences that make up each and every resident are simply amazing. The Story about a your parents having to walk to school uphill both ways in the snow everyday just to get there never seemed to be true until you sit down for a conversation with the elderly. Hard times, good times and family have molded these people into who and what they are today. If everyone got the chance to receive even a little bit of insight from this generation they would be blessed. I consider it a privilege to get to know the residents and to help them remain as independent as they can and want to be."

"I started my nursing career at the age of 16 as a nursing assistant. I followed my mothers footsteps into the nursing profession at the age of 23. I enjoy taking care of the elderly population. Working with the elderly is all I have known since becoming a nurse 21 years ago. I was told by a previous supervisor that I should treat every patient like they were my grandparent or my parent, and still after 21 years in the nursing profession I still try to treat every patient in that way."
