So many people up here volunteer at either the big nursing home, or the Margaretville Hospital. There's another nursing home in town where people volunteer. It is a wonderful thing, and you are so right about knowing how to meet the needs of people who are in such a vulnerable situation.
There is also a group of people who train therapy dogs, and many people take their dogs to visit these places. That sounds so nice, and the dogs love it too. Max would be good. Annie - not so much!

It sure does take a special person to care for others, especially others who are older.

Consider home health care, too.

Great idea Sandy. As you all know...right now I have to put that on hold because of Mom. But I still think about it everyday.

I think that after all I've been through with taking care of Mom and realizing that I can't do it anymore because she needs 24/7 care, that this probably isn't the field for me. I had thought I had finally found my calling, but it must have been a wrong number...
 Not sure what I should do now. I do enjoy driving the bus, but it doesn't pay much. It's just really hard to find something at my age with good insurance. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open though, ya never know when an opportunity may come along and of course there is no hurry.
