The main part of my role is helping older adults continue living in their homes surrounded by all their treasured memories and it 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 David who is wonderful. I help him get up in the morning, help him with personal care needs such as getting washed and dressed and make him some breakfast. I will then go back at lunch time to prepare him something to eat, prompt him to take his medication, do a spot of cleaning and have a chat, he has a lot of stories about his life that make me smile and laugh. I’m never rushed, and I can spend quality time with my clients. I also support an older lady called Judith, she loves a trip out to Lake Meadows park, and Thorndon Park, and I struggle to keep up with her. I don’t see this as a job, it’s a privilege, I only wish I had done it sooner."
