As a nursing student decades ago, my first summer job was taking care of an older lady at her home. My employer was her daughter, who had taken her mom in to live with her.
Due to a major stroke, the mom didn’t speak, except for a rare “yes” or “no”. My job as a home care worker was to read to her (the Bible only), help her to the bathroom, walk her a short distance outside, and get her in and out of bed. She had a walker and wheelchair. I kept her company and did small chores while her daughter was away from the house.
