Private Duty Employer Reviews

My current job is working with an elderly woman who has severe dementia. While on duty, I prepare meals and medications. In addition, I oversee the general care of my client while staying at their house.

My patient and I grew very close, it was always such a pleasure working with her. It was not easy work but I loved helping her and loved the expirience I gained!

i had to bathed him, cook and dress him. He had to have care around the clock.

I love private duty because you get the one on one experience with your patient. I also enjoy developing a bond with the patient that is very special. There is nothing more rewarding than making a difference in someones life. Honestly, if I knew more people looking for private duty this would be the career for me.

I really enjoyed working private duty my client was real nice and respectful and allowed me to do my job. I like helping people i learned a lot helping people, like sometimes people just need someone to talk to, just to sit with, sometimes little things make a big difference in people lives.

Provided morning and nightly care for senior citizens. My only co-worker was my boss. She was a delightful person to work for.

I have been with the same family for 12 years. I have had a wealth of experience as they have been ill and well intermittently. I have sadly experienced the decline and ultimate death of one of the family members I cared for. She was an interesting woman and suffered from the results from several strokes among other problems. She and her husband traveled – more...  all over the world and had many delightful stories to share. I also provide care for her husband who just turned 95 years old. He is a very considerate man and always uses "please" and "thank you." We have been to many doctor appointments and they have had numerous tests. I really enjoy conversing with the doctors, since I feel very comfortable with them and I understand a lot of their medical jargon. I manage many tasks, such as accounts payable, do banking and manage all the paperwork over the years. I invented a convenient small list of current medications my patient takes so when visiting a new facility and filling out paperwork, which I also do, it is easy to give the small list to the medical assistant to copy. I manage the workers who come to the house, wanted and unwanted! My co-workers are 2 very nice gals who take other shifts than mine. The hardest part of the job is separating myself from the familiarity of the family and changing into a serious business professional when necessary, which has been quite often lately. The most enjoyable part of the job is hearing the many stories from my patient's military days and travels. I also enjoy conversing with the doctors at the many facilities we visit. – less

I enjoy helping out in any way that I can. We talk, laugh, and even cry. I have learned to humble myself and to be thankful for everything.

Respectful and very understanding patients. loved working with them very good experience for me.

Great atmosphere to work in and develop skills needed by the individual at hand.

I took care of my grandmother until she passed away this year.

Prepare lunch meal, administrate medication, general house keeping, assist with passing time prepare evening meal, day ends by 4:PM.

I was hired by a family to care for a cancer patient during the hours that the Registered Nurse did not work. I was responsible for calling in vitals to the RN or the Doctor. I gained a lot of bedside experience with this employer.

It is an awesome responsibility to have a persons health & development almost completely in your hands. There is also very few jobs that can equal the feeling of satisfaction & completion you get from a job well done.

This job was close to home one on one with patient was able to build a friendship with patient and family.

They allowed me to use my skills to help there family member to teach them to do alot of things on there own but i was always there to assist them if they needed help
