HCA Hospice Care

Yesterday went to HCA Hospice Care the second time to do NYAA gold residential project.
Like all Hospice care they take in patients that are diagnosed to have only less than 12 months of lifetime. A very sad thing, most are elderly but few are still young around our parent's age. Whenever i look at them, they remind me of my grandparents. After volunteering here, i think i will change and volunteer at the care centre where my grandparent are. What i experience here are so different. I am used to volunteer in childcare, service care, surrounded by children. Facing elderly, i am lost, no experience to guide me. Encountered several times when i do not know how to react. Situation like they are trying to stand up but do not have the strength. And when the "Ah Ma" in wheelchair want to go toilet. Things they tell me. Many things that i experienced are so hard to describe. Spending the whole day with them are really tiring. Would you dare to volunteer in such a place for long term? Not many can.
