I have worked in care now for 31 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 are important.

I now work primarily as a live-in pa/carer. For agencies but also privately. 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 their 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.
