One of my agencies asked me to take a patient looking for a caregiver to help with bathing. The man was not expected to live too long, and his wife needed help with his day to day care. The man was a heart patient and had no tubes, sores or drains, so it sounded like an easy case, a shower-and-dress kind of visit. I also liked getting clients through an agency because I did not have to make tax installments and the agency insurance covered me if something happened during my visits to me or my client. I went out to see if this patient was a good fit or not and had my life changed forever.

This story is very close to my heart, read on to find out why.
