Conway Manor

For my field experience, I went to Conway Manor. It's a nursing home on the outskirts of Conway, S.C. Once I got there, the first thing I noticed was that there were patients waiting around at the entrance of the door hoping that their family or friends would be walking through the door to visit them. Seeing that made me feel a since of sadness so I got right to work. At first, I led the elderly that were waiting by the door back to their rooms and talk to them. They told me that their family/friends barely come to visit them so I asked them what health problems they had; it ranged from dementia to high blood pressure and i've even seen a vegetable. The different things I did there was help the patients, take their food to them, file paperwork, tell visitors where their family or friends were staying, and things like that. I learned that everyone deserves a chance to have good health right along with a good laugh.
