Dementia Care Newbury

| Hi My name is Khaley. I have 10 years experience working in the care sector. I have helped support individuals to live independently in their own home and make referrals to Occupational therapists and other professionals that they may need help with. I have end of life care experience, dementia, mental health and learning disabilities. I have a passion for care and knowing that I have made a difference in someone’s life. My passion for care first came when my mum was Ill growing up. I saw carers support her in a dignified, caring manner and I knew from then I wanted to help support others like people had supported my mum. I have a lot of availability atm, so feel free to get in touch. I believe that promoting independence is so important to help build confidence and well being. I also have a level 3 in Health and social care and currently studying my degree.

| Caring for the elderly was never the field I imagined myself working in, but after the covid pandemic left me without a job, our local care home took me in and gave me the skills and experience I have now to provide excellent care for your loved ones and I couldn’t imagine myself in another profession. Having had family members with dementia, I know first hand how difficult it can be for them and for you, so I pride myself in person centred care to make them feel safe and happy.

| Hello, I’m Liz and I’m 45 years old. I live in Newbury in Berkshire and I have over ten years of care experience. I’ve worked with a lot of dementia clients, as well as lots of other conditions. I offer both live in and visiting care. I’m kind and patient (I love this job because I really do care!) Hopefully my sense of humour still works. Outside of work I love seeing family and friends, keeping fit and paddleboarding. If you think I could help then please get in touch.

| At present i Support an elderly lady with dementia getting up and ready for the day ( washed, dressed, medication, breakfast and then companionship) I support the family with any extra need they have for their mum.

| I am an experienced Dementia/Alzheimer’s Companion with well over 20 years of experience. This is an area I am familiar with on a personal level as well as professionally. Previously I have worked in Education, including in Special Needs Schools and hospital placements. I do not drive so I am better suited for clients who need a companion who can spend some quality time with them rather than just dropping in for an hour or who feel comfortable using trains or taxis. I have covered Waking Nights, Respite, Live-In and Sleepovers also and these roles interest me too. Daily bookings for a minimum of at ‘least’ 4 hours per visit are preferred. I am English and well spoken, this will help those who have hearing difficulties. Please ask for references if you’d like to know more about me and my work ethics. I can help with the administration of medication. Many Alzheimer and Dementia patients battle with depression and I strive to keep them feeling safe, content and understood. Entertaining them and stimulating them with trips out, even pursuing hobbies. (For my own safety and security, I suggest a meet before agreeing to bookings.)

| I have been a carer from the age of 19 now I am just about to turn 30. At first I worked in a care home in Newbury. Then for the reablement service of Reading council. Throughout my time as a carer I have worked with a variety of people. Elderly with dementia to younger clients with learning disabilities or mental health problems. I am a very hard working individual who takes pride in my work. I love to help others and promote as much independence as I can to my clients. I have no problems with doing shopping or housework aswell as personal care. I am a friendly and happy caring person who takes my role very seriously. I have just started out as a self employed private carer and looking to expand my clients. I will always go the extra mile for the ones I look after.
