Review for Episcopal Communities Foundation, Inc. dba Episcopal Place, Birmingham, AL, USA
When performing certain duties in a resident's apartment, I was able to create an atmosphere where she felt comfortable enought to share with me her life story. In her last months at Episcopal Place , she deteriorated and showed signs of dementia as well as physical issues. I soon realized how important it was for me to listen to her whether it was a new story or one she had already shared with me. Through this experienece, I learned that residents need attention and someone to listen. I realized that sometimes staff is the only someone to do the above listed tasks. I learned patience and how to listen as well as how to slow down and appreicate the people in our lives.
