Keighley

Tell us about you! I have 4 cats and a collie. I enjoy animals, walking and going to the lakes. I like to swim when I get the chance, love movies but I don’t watch normal TV, only box sets of series. 

I have worked in care now for 28 years. I've worked in some great homes and worked with some brilliant people. I have learnt a lot from every single new resident / client I have cared for. No two people are the same. For me it’s always been the needs of my clients that is important. 

I now work primarily as a live-in pa/carer. I cover respite mainly. I enjoy this as I get to see all different types of people who have different needs. It is all about learning something new from each client, their condition or just personality. I have found over the years people do not like change but are open to new ideas, but not when the ideas are forced upon them. What could be good for one person may not suit another and I have learnt this by listening to what people want/need, and not what other people think they want or need. 

There are some areas I have worked more than others, personal care and palliative/end of life care are where I have worked the most. I have worked with dementia and EMI. I have worked as a live-in carer for people in their own homes, I enjoyed this working in different homes every week travelling all over the country. seeing how other counties care.
