CAREGiver of the Month Tami loves spending her time with her clients. “This is a great job. Every client is different. They make my day as much as I make theirs. All it takes to make my day is a smile or a hello. I just love seniors,” she said. “I have a 92-year-old female hospice client with Parkinson’s disease. She remains in bed and doesn’t speak. I rub her hand, and when I see her smile, it makes my day. Even though she does not talk, her eyes say a lot to me. I put lotion on her hands, and her eyes are telling me, ‘Thank you.’ I tell her, ‘You’re welcome.’ ” Another of Tami’s clients is an 85-year-old woman who requests three hours on Friday nights for companionship. “On occasion,” Tami said, “she’ll joke with me about running the vacuum for a while so she can say I did her light housekeeping. I love to do it and whatever else needs to be done, but then she quickly gets us back to gin rummy. Another is a lady I see on Sundays, and she loves to have someone watch the final round of the pro golf events with her.”
