Residential care for older people
The work involves providing personal care to a wide variety of
people who for one reason or another, find themselves needing short
term or long term care in a residential home. You would be involved
in helping and supporting people in all aspects of their personal
care be that washing, dressing, eating or helping them to continue
with the interests that they may have had prior to them needing
residential care.
Working in a residential care home you would work as a member of
a team to create a friendly and homely environment that respects
individually and collectively the dignity and choices of all the
residents. Talking with and listening to the interests and concerns
of the residents is as important as the physical care that we need
provide.
