Pros

Working with the elderly is so rewarding. I reap the benefits of friendship, shared wisdom and respect in the interaction with my residents. There is great satisfaction each day in knowing that I was able to connect with someone who is lonely or afraid,creating, through intentional presence, a peaceful moment. There is joy when sharing a joke or recognizing our universal need to be valued.

Cons

There are times, like in any job, where dramas can throw team members off-track. Where voicing negativity is counter productive to the team effort. Relying on shared experiences, in a empathetic manner, is necessary, but has to be balanced with the good that occurs every day.
