I spent ten years from the age of 18 to 28 working in care work for various health issues from learning difficulties and physical and mental health all the way to nursing assistant and end of life care, ask me anything?

Did you ever have to clean up poop?
I’ve been interesred in this for awhile (was a nursing home cook). What level of care could you get to if not accredited? I’m drawn to helping, especially elderly, but at 58 not into schooling.
Do you have to lift people? And do you risk serious injury? I was interested in being a caregiver for a while but was terrified of hurting my back.
