Personal Narrative: Home Health Aide

119 Words1 Page

I began volunteering at my town 's nursing home in high school. Initially, I volunteered as an arts and craft aide, coloring and drawing with the patients, but soon after my sister I transformed that time slot into a performance hour, doing our gymnastics, hip-hop, ppm, cheer, and kickline routines for the patients. It was very rewarding to see the patients smile in amazement and awe and also knowing that they looked forward to seeing me each weekend. At the same it was sad to see familiar faces disappear. After I acquired Home Health Aide certificate in the summer of 2013, I was able to help physically care for the patients. I helped shower, change, and provide other personal care.

Working as a nursing assistant in a nursing home and on a rehabilitation floor in a hospital, I dedicated myself to assisting residents, ensuring they had everything they needed. Many residents in the nursing home lacked family support, so I became their ally and friend. The residents' faces would light up as they shared their small steps toward their physical therapy goals. For new residents feeling anxious about transitioning to a new place, I offered reassurance and showcased the facility's best aspects, creating a sense of home.
