The main part of my role is helping older adults continue living in their homes surrounded by all their treasured memories is the most amazing thing I have done. No two days are ever the same and I never have the Monday blues. I support an older gentleman called Terence who is wonderful. I help him get up in the morning, have a shower, get dressed and make him some breakfast. I will then go back at lunch time to prepare him something to eat, do a spot of cleaning and have a chat, he has a lot of stories about his life that make me smile and laugh.
