Care Assistant Home Instead

So whats the job really about

Picture this. You pop in to help Mrs Smith start her morning. You support her out of bed help her choose something nice to wear then sit down together for a cuppa and a chat while she enjoys her breakfast. Later you may visit Mr Jones to help him with his medication support him with a refreshing shower and make sure he has a hot nutritious meal ready. There could be a light tidy around the house or even a trip to the shops for a bit of fresh air and company.

No two days are ever the same and thats what makes this role so special.
