Pros

assisting elderly adults who have vast experience and words of wisdom to maintain independence, opportunity to care and let the elderly know that even when their family cannot be with them, there are other people who care about them and will do their best to help meet the client's needs. This job also provided an excellent level of independence while providing support when/ if needed. I felt I had an excellent opportunity to support the client's needs to the maximum because they were the only one I needed to focus on at the moment of visiting them within their home

Cons

Most interactions were myself and the client- if you enjoy the structure of the hospital environment, this job may not be the best fit

Pros

Okay pay, flexible shifts, weekly pay

Cons

The company will not only fire you but also act as if your wrong for advocating for your patient who states they don't want to take their Xanax something that is taken as needed but your relief aide works overnight and is literally trying to force it upon the client so they can sleep their whole shift. Also they may have you do something I now know should've never happened which is with hold the clients narcotics meds for "their safety" even though the client is of sound mind and can administer the medication to themselves appropriately and this will most likely make your client very upset with you rightfully so but your just trying to do what VA staff has directed you to do and finally you may end up getting assaulted by a stranger that let's themselves into your clients home yelling demands at you and the client and getting irate with you and you don't even know who they are on your first day don't expect VA to protect you from a situation they should've never let happen no matter how well you did your job they still will just quietly let you go because you don't really matter in the grand scheme of it all work where you want but if you choose here just remember you were warned!
