Caregiving Story

PRIVATE

Location: ETHRIDGE, TN
Age: 27
Cared for by: JANICE ETIENNE
Years of Care: 7
Actually, Brandon is not a senior. He is 27-years-old. He is a total-care patient and he suffered a brain injury at the age of 6 due to seizures from a medication error caused by his doctor. I have been caring for him for 7 years and he is a delight to care for. He does not speak and he cannot move anything but his head. But the SMILE I get when he sees me come in the room every morning will light up the world. I am a LPN and am moving from Tennessee to Alabama and will then need to leave my wonderful client.
