Pros

I have worked at Good Samaritan Society for 13 going on 14. I enjoy the residents. I have grown fond of some of the residens and its hard to watch as they grow older and finely depart from this world. Its like their your own gr-pa or gr-ma. Its a pleasure to work in a nursing home. It gives the up most respect towards these resident. Its inspirational, gods love towards them, i watch them go thru their daily routines, their activities, and listen to the worship sevice as i am a loyal fan of the one up above.. I just adore the life, of being able to enjoy the life of the resident...

Cons

my downside is it is so sad to see a resident in his/her last days here on earth. You get to know the resident and know how they act,feel the wants, and get to talk with them about how they would of live a different way if they had a chance. They can tell when thier time is near.

Pros

It is a wonderful feeling knowing you can help someone with the things they can no longer do themselves. They appreciate everything we do and it doesn't take words to know how they feel, because you can tell by certain expressions on their faces or they have a type of body movement or language and it is just something that makes you feel good and worth being there!

Cons

The only problem I have ran into is with scheduling other then that I honestly have no complaints!
