But honestly, nursing assistants don’t always have it easy. Caring for residents can be mentally and physically challenging. But you do what you do patience, compassion and a commitment to those you serve. And for that, we thank you this week...and every week. Frankly, we can’t thank you enough!
I sat down with a couple OnShifters (and former caregivers) to get their perspective on the important role nursing assistants play in senior care - and they certainly sang your praises.
But before you press play on the video below, I want to leave you with these wise words from former senior living executive Lisa Fordyce from last year's celebratory post: "Remember why you do what you do and let that guide the excellent service you provide and the meaningful interactions you have every day. The skills that you learn as a caregiver – patience, humility, problem solving, and so many more - can take you just about anywhere."
Enjoy the video and thank you again!
