I am a 26 year old woman that loves working with the elderly. I currently work with memory care patients (Alzheimer's & Dementia) and assisted living residents. I enlisted in the service 8 years ago so I am CPR and First Aid certified. With my job, my duties include:

Serve the patients meals and in some cases, to help them eat if they cannot do it for themselves.
Recording vital signs, including blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiration rate as requested by staff.
Set up medical equipment and assist with some medical procedures.
Measuring and recording food and liquid intake and urinary and fecal output and reporting changes to medical or nursing staff.
Ensuring patients or residents receive appropriate diet by reviewing their dietary restrictions, food allergies, and preferences.
Answering patient calls and determining how best to help them.
Providing physical support for patients or residents with daily activities and personal hygiene, including bathing, dressing, getting out of bed, - using the toilet, walking, standing or exercising.
Communicates and interacts effectively and tactfully with the residents, visitors, families, peers and supervisors.
Performs all job responsibilities in accordance with prescribed safety and infection control procedures, including thorough hand washing, use of disposable gloves where indicated and proper disposal of soiled materials and most definitely much more. I am a great person to speak to. I enjoy playing games and I always encourage my residents to get up and have a little fun. :) Certainly hope I caught your interest.
