957993
Cleaning and supervising cleaners, keeping laundry (checking, repair etc) and also keeping all the fixtures and fittings in good order (making sure the work is done!).  Keeping track of food use, ordering and sometimes also responsible for menu planning with cook.   Making sure the house is "kept" properly.  As you would at home but on a bigger scale.

I work in a nursing home and I'm a mandory reporter of abuse. The police can not always help. You need to get a hold of Department of Human Services in your area

I am an aide, and the home I work in has a nice crowd of people. People all generally mean well. We try to treat the residents with all the respect and dignity we can. The residents are often upset and get very bossy and demanding with the aids. All we can do it bite our lip and bare it...But residents are treated the way they treat the nurses and aides. It also depends on the location of the home and the people who work there and the funds that are supporting everything.

Well for my grandmother they took her home,car and her S.S. check to pay for her room at a nursing home. It hurt to see everything she had worked for just go. I would check into different nursing homes and their prices and would also contact your local S.S. office to find out more information pertaining to your certain situation.  Good Luck!

The butler is a senior servant in a large household. Usually the butler is the most senior staff member, although in the great houses of the past, the household was sometimes divided into departments with the butler in charge of the dining room (including the wine cellar) and pantry, and sometimes the entire parlour floor, and a housekeeper who was in charge of the whole house and its appearance. Housekeepers are occasionally portrayed in literature as being the most senior staff member and as even making recommendations for the hiring of the butler.

Yes you can. A local hospital in my area hires them. A certified nursing assitant can work almost anywhere that hires them as long as they are under the supervision of a registered nurse. So go for that job! Most likely your duties would include helping patients to the bathroom who stay overnight for pain treatments,bathing non-ambulatory patients,etc. They need CNAs just as much as any other hospital. I don't know what state you live in but here are north carolinas regulations.\n*Employment MUST include ALL FOUR (4) of the following to qualify for listing renewal:\n1) Work is for monetary compensation\n2) Work is as a nurse aide, performing direct patient care\n3) Work is under the supervision of a registered nurse\n4) Total time worked equals eight (8) hours or more

CNA is a Certified Nurses Assitant - and its a horrible job. I did it before I became a registered nurse and wouldn't wish that hell on anyone. Usually, the bulk of CNA's work at nursing homes and have to feed the elderly, bathe them, change the bed pans and diapers.

Hi I've worked as a CNA in a nursing home in Texas.I have been doin this kind of work since the summer of '92.Yes it is very stressful.When I first started reading your post I thought you were going 2 complain about the residents you take care of .Because to me that can sometimes be stressful as well.But it can be hard to do this kind of work when there are people constantly bugging u about how to do this or that. if you really feel that these "bosses" are not qualified to do the job you can call an agent for the elderly in your state or town.Or even go so far as to call state.because one mistake by these people could cause harm to an elderly person.this call is completely anonymous.This way people can come in and check the credentials of everybody that works there.I know that this is a hard job and that we are greatly under appreciated.But you sound like you have alot of compassion for the work you are trying to do.If you don't want to call state then I suggest you find another home to work at because from what I've seen dedication to the elderly is hard to find. Good luck!!!!

If you don't mind cleaning. usually older people who don't want to leave there houses, but are unable to do it themselves anymore. Maybe errand running for elderly people in the neighborhood?

I am the HR director at a Home Health Agency, and know that companies like ours are always looking for dependable help.  You can often get an entry-level position with limited or no training (as a CNA - certified nurses's assitant or equivalent).  Once you're in, you'll start to build experience and can decide where you want to go from there.  \n\nHowever, your goal should probably be a nursing home or residential living facility as Home Care is not exactly stable (people end up hospitalized, etc.).  \n\nAlso, have you considered working with people with disabilities?  There are agencies all over looking for good employees (check out the ARC - Association for Retarded Citizens http://www.thearc.org/).  \n\nBest of luck!
