I was employed at a local nursing home at the early age of 18 and I became very attached to my residents as well as learned how to aide a variety of different people. I learned how to take care of residents that had physical complications as well as mental behavioral issues. I worked in a nursing home called Salt River Nursing Home which housed about 80 residents at a time. I worked in an area called the Special Needs Unit in which held about twenty patients that suffered from dementia or Alzheimer's. The residents were housed in an area that required twenty four hour watch, they were required to wear bracelets that made sure they didn't leave their area and at any given time I had twenty residents and pulled fourteen hour shifts several days
