Welcome to Friday Voices of Care💙
Each Friday we will be hearing from different carers across our 8 locations, about the highs and the challenges they face being on the frontline. We want to be able to highlight the positive sides of the role, as well as be transparent about some of the issues our carers face day in and day out. By doing this, we can hopefully open up conversations and help ease some of these challenges for our carers.
For the first Friday Voices of Care, we heard from Donna, one of our carers from Carewatch Norfolk. She has been with the company for 2.5 years and has made an extremely positive impact on the clients she works with.
Here's what Donna had to say about working in care:
"My favourite part about being a carer is that I can make a difference to a person's life by supporting them in day to day activities and helping them to stay independent and at there own home."
"The hardest part of my job is when I look after a person, not to get connected to them. They become like your family. I have a lot of clients I look after, most of which I feel like I've know all my life, bit have to remember I'm there to look after them. When you look after a person, and have for a long time, then their circumstances change or there conditions worsen and you lose that person it is really hard."
"I have lots of favourite memories with my clients. I had one lady I used to take out every Thursday into Dereham when I first started with the company, to help her with her shopping. I would put her scooter in my car and we would go out, it used to be into Dereham then over to Tesco's. Just having someone to talk to and help with things she wasn't able to do by herself, that smile on her face, the laughs we had, that was her highlight in her life. Just me and her going out."
"My office team has always tried to help when they can. We now have work phones instead of using our personal phones, which is a lot easier, and when I've had a family issue they have helped me and supported me"
