I have over 20 years experience as l looked after my elderly grandmother and worked in the care sector as well even though my recent background is in the HR department. I have developed both the skills and the compassion necessary to effectively support older adults. I prioritize building strong, trusting relationships with clients, listening to their needs. I am adept at both verbal and non-verbal communication, which is crucial in working with elderly clients who may have hearing difficulties or cognitive impairments. I ensure that my instructions are clear and that I check for understanding. I understand that working with elderly clients requires patience, especially when they may need extra time to complete tasks or express themselves. I have experience in monitoring health conditions and administering medications, ensuring compliance with care plans and recognizing when to alert healthcare professionals. I have worked in both residential care facilities and in-home care settings. In my previous roles I provided daily assistance to residents, helping them with personal care, meals, and medication management. Kind Regards Shelly
