๐ง The Sweetness of Warm Care ๐ง
In the world of caregiving, it's the little things that make the biggest difference. Client A, who was living with paralysis, taught us the true essence of attentive care. After being discharged from the hospital, he required assistance with meals and hydration, always requesting "warm water."
Initially, I prepared it warm, cautious not to serve it too hot. But when he mentioned, "I like it hotter," I adjusted the temperature each time, striving to find the perfect warmth he preferred.
One day, his smile and the words, "It's just the right temperature, and the water tastes so sweet," brought immense joy to my heart. Serving warm water was more than a task; it was an act of care. Being attentive to his preferences and responding to his feelings was the true expression of caring.
At Nikoniko, we cherish these moments of connection and compassion, knowing they create a lasting impact. ๐
