Caregiving Story

TheAnna

Location: St Louis, MO
Age: 100
Cared for by: Leone Barnes
Years of Care: 20
I worked the night shift. My client did not sleep well if she went to bed before 10pm because she had nothing to do but walk around all day, so she would be restless at night. She would try her best to talk the daytime caregiver into letting her go to bed before I got there, but they told her she had to wait for me. So one night she said, "Have I got a deal for you." She leaned over and whispered in my ear, "If you let me go to bed, I'll invite you to my 100th birthday party, but you have to bring 4 more people my age or you can't come"
