About Caren

63 years old Speaks English
I have excellent communication skills working with the elderly. I enjoy their company, hearing their stories and love being able to make their days trouble free. Helping with personal care, shopping, cooking meals, conversation and companionship. I miss my parents, aunts and uncles and know all the old films, songs and love walking down memory lane. Its heart warming to see them smile in remembrance. I’ve specialised in dementia care over the years, working in a day centre as well as day and evening private care. I have also specialised with PSP clients and am competent with the elderly and the frail. I’ve had fantastic results with clients on their memory reviews. Encouraging them to get into colouring patterns; which helps with pen control, colour appreciation and Is ultimately rewarding and relaxing. I am also a fully qualified Holistic therapist and often help relieving aching legs, restless leg syndrome, stiff shoulders and necks. I am presently studying ‘end of life care’ so that I can hold their hands right upto their final moment, assuring continuity of care and support.

Caren is a lovely, bubbly, caring and very professional person. We engaged Caren in December to assist with Joy who is 91 and living at home assisted, we needed someone for respite. Joy got very confused and upset at first being we were not around but Caren reassured her, made her feel safe and kept us up to date at the same time too. Caren offered companionship, personal care, assistance to bed, anything that Joy needed. She even did the washing. Everything was logged down for us so we could see what was done. We would definitely engage Caren again and thoroughly recommend her the caring service she gives 100%
