We returned to Titanyen today to continue our home visits for our most vulnerable elders. We were able to visit Guerline, Eliphet, Ophane, and Rosette.
After our first visit with Guerline, we went to visit Eliphet, and were able to take her to see where her new home is being constructed. She was excited to see the progress on her home, for which has been patiently waiting. We then were able to meet up with Dr. Fabian, who is one of the physicians working at Hope Clinic. He attended our home visit to Ophane, making recommendations for him. After a visit to Rosette, we were able to do quick follow-up visits with 2 elders seen yesterday to change a bandage and have Dr. Fabian check in with Edmund.
We then took a much-needed break at Fleuri, where we were able to spend time with Dr. Fabian to discuss cultural implications for medical care, particularly in the elderly population. He was able to give great insight. He then expounded on why Lebron James is an overall better player than Michael Jordan, or any other player in NBA history :)
On the way back to the guest house, we were chased by darkening skies, and the rain opened up JUST as we unloaded the tap-tap. It was a very refreshing rain, and cooled off the air a bit.
Tonight, we did "case conference" on all of our elders seen, and made potential recommendations and further care plans to improve their quality of life. While discussing the elders, some of our team members did mending of clothing and a sheet that we'd picked up yesterday, and will be returned to the elder tomorrow.
Tomorrow's plan is for an elder event with nursing & therapy assessments, health education topics, and lots of fun activities for the elders.
Until tomorrow,
Elder care team member Joy (and blog by committee)
