Like my mother I too was a CNA and sadly these words are so true .
Home At Last Alone by the window in silence she stares, passing the time away, People walk by yet nobody cares, on this earth 'twas to be her last day. Once she frolicked through the meadows of youth dancing with hopes of tomorrow, Time came and went revealing it's truth along with joy came sorrow. Somebody's wife, daughter and friend, a mother who gave her all, Now sits in silence until the end, in a nursing home's empty hall. Visitors come and go but sadly none for her, another day comes to close God saw her pain yet knew her worth, Today she lives in his home on high, watching while angels pass her by. Loneliness gone a thing of the past, where she belongs, home at last! Written By Kathy J Parenteau Copyright © 06/2/2014

Without family or friends, one only has CNAs to see them through their daily routine until the time comes to leave. There's something to be said about dying suddenly without ever getting point of being alone without visitors.

One of my friend's sister worked in a nursing home years ago, and yes it was very sad to see those who had no one to visit them. It wasn't for the fact that their folks didn't care, it was in some instances these folks had outlived their children; or sometimes their own children are too old travel to come to see them. There are many reasons that the folks don't have visitors. However, I do see it necessary for a nursing home if one does not have any relatives that are still living. Nursing home may be the last best thing they will ever have to gain friends of their own ages and talk about lives to each other as they can remember them. Much like the way we are posting poetry here, but with actual human contacts.

A eye-opening write and a big wake-up call for all! I agree with Jerry. Nursing homes nurse you on the pathway to a non-productive life which is sad.

Peace be with you,
