Dignity Hospice is an agency that cares for elderly people who are terminally ill. It's a place where the elders go to just to be well taken care of on their last days. ]]> 2017-11-29 02:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211232251 cynthiajastorga99 https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211233215 I helped put admission packets together and sort through paperwork that needed to be filed, dating packets with patients date of arrival and departure. I chose this agency because it was interesting to learn that hospice isn't just somewhere elderly people go to die, it's a place that is very peaceful and comfortable for dying patients.]]> 2017-11-29 02:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211233215 cynthiajastorga99 https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211237228  I worked with 1 other person and with our help we made sure that there wasn't a lot of stress on the nurses who care for patients. I believe we made a difference because it gave the social workers free time to visit the elderly will we worked on future paperwork for future patients.]]> 2017-11-29 02:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211237228 cynthiajastorga99 https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211239590 I didn't visit patients like I wanted to but helping with paperwork and learning from social workers what exactly they do when having someone in their care with an illness made me realize that I could someday be able to help those who can't help themselves.]]> 2017-11-29 03:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211239590 cynthiajastorga99 https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211240017 There weren't any challenges at the agency I chose to volunteer at because it was pretty self explanatory but it was interesting learning about the different type of ways one patient may end up in hospice for a minor or major thing. ]]> 2017-11-29 03:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211240017 cynthiajastorga99 https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211240440 I believe we had to do service learning so we know how to get out of our comfort zone and help those who need extra hands. This project has improved my learning in the course because I got to meet some nice people and learned a lot about what people do for the elderly.]]> 2017-11-29 03:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiajastorga99/mm5emyahb8pb/wish/211240440
