Grand Haven, Mi

Performed the duties of a CNA with a variety of patients and conditions. I made home visits to different clients that changed throughout the months working there; some clients I had more than others. I was trained to use an in-line catheter and was in close contact with Hospice regarding my clients. Some of my clients had dementia, Alzheimer's, or were otherwise immobile (i.e., osteoporosis, old age). I feel my skills were further sharpened when I began using the techniques I learned in training, such as hygiene, assistance with using the restroom, gait belts, bed pan/portable urinal usage, changing bedding (with or without client occupying the bed), and a variety of other tasks.Communication became of utmost importance in this role. Every individual I cared for was different, which meant adjusting and adapting to the needs of my patients on a case-by-case basis. It was a true privilege to be able to provide the dignity, kindness, and empathy each of my clients deserved.
