What experience do you have and what do you enjoy about working with the geriatric population?

"During clinicals, I worked with pediatrics, young adults, and the elderly, and I enjoyed my time most with the elderly. I have always been passionate about serving the geriatric population. Many of them did not have friends or family that visited, and I enjoyed being able to provide not only care but also compassion and friendship to those patients."

"I have worked in nursing homes and assisted living facilities for the last ten years. I love caring for the elderly and helping provide the best quality of life possible for them. I enjoy working in this type of setting because the residents are long-term for the most part, so I can get to know them and build long-term relationships. Getting to know them and hearing their life stories is so special!"
