Caregiving Story

lacy bowen

Location: Detroit, MI
Age: 80
Cared for by: Erica Bowen
Years of Care: 0
When my Granny got older she could not do some things for herself. However, she didn't need to go to a nursing home. So I stayed there with her and helped her with daily activities before I went to work each day. After the big auto layoffs in Michigan, I was let go from my job of 5 years. I decided to go to school for nursing as I enjoy being a caregiver.
