This whole week have being working and working non stop.. so busy.. pretty tiring but enjoyable.. thou handling the resident are tough.. washing them, cleaning, feeding.. etc.. after the whole day busy running around like a bumble bee.. able to see them smile is a relieve.. however, on occasion seeing them lying there.. dementia.. not knowing what's happening around them.. was indeed a pitiful sight.. think this is just another part and parcel of our life.. where almost i should say all of us will have go through it.. its only a matter of late or early..
Working at Tandara and Joseph bank are 2 different kind of environment.. Tandara residents are of high care.. need more attention and strength .. n almost 80% residents have dementia.. disablilty in a way or so.. hence require more energy.. they are adorable in their own way.. in JB.. residents there are sort of coming from a wealthy bakground.. either they themself or their kids are better off than others.. hence they are able to stay in this kind of nice and private environment.. in Tandara is like a war zone.. carer got to rush to and fro to get things done for all residents under their care..however in JB.. they allow carer to take their own time.. manage it.. to get their resident dress up.. eat..etc.. more of a relaxing pace.. n residents there are more demanding..as they are still sensible and know what are their likes and dislikes.. but.. we have more time to communicate to them..thou some elderly are a little nasty at times.. anyway.. they are all old ppl.. should show them some respects..that's life.. haa..
Today, went to walter point/park for a walk.. wao..not bad..nice park.. with sand bank which allow you to walk from one side to the other.. similar to penguin island.. unfortunately.. saw lotsa Jelly fish (Dead)..lying around.. poor things.. funny part..able to catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming around the lake.. think the lake is connected to the sea.. coolz sight..haa.. good place to walk...chat..n laze around.. nice weather too... think that all for now..tml got work to do..
