Hello Blogger!
This is my first time blogging so bare with me here. In this blog i am going to share with you my experiences at my service organization called Best friends day Center.Best friends day center is hard to beat when it comes to value, and care. Not only do they have a caregiver answering phones for 24-hours, they have people that want to help the ones in need. This service benefits those who suffer from the emotional effects of a disease called Alzheimer's. The symptoms of this disease may cause loss of memory, mental clarity, and sometimes maybe even language capabilities, over time. This is a very serious disease, and mostly elderly people face it.
No one needs to be alone with those kinds of symptoms. Sometimes its easier to get help from people that become expertise in this field. Giving patients the chance to have some fun, and interact with more people that also have alzheimer's. Giving them the comfort,and relaxation they need. This service is not only beneficial to the ones receiving care, but to the families that are indulged in this facility. Giving the caretakers of the family a little break is alway good. It's a very hard time for some families.There is a lot of emotional stress that comes with Alzheimers. Seeing a love one suffer through that can be heartbreaking.
Best friends day center gives you the right kind of best friend you need. Someone that will help you when things get a little much. It's hard to see a loved one going through that disease. You do not have to go through it alone. This is why I picked this center for my volunteer work. Putting smilies on peoples faces why you sing, play games, and entertain is just a great feeling. My mother takes care of elderly patients, and quite of them developed Alzheimers. Knowing I could have the chance to help people like that again made my choice the best one for myself.
