Elderly Care in Inverclyde South West

| I have 15 years experience in working with the elderly in all capacities, nursing home, own home, hospital and day centre. I use hoisting equipment and other aides on a daily basis, I deal with catheter care, medication, etc also on a daily basis. I have worked with the council for over thirteen years and have worked privately with people, giving extra support when needed. My approach is very person centred and all about the individual and their needs, whether it is care at home, assistance with cooking, an odd overnight stay or just company. My clients and their families always become friends. I work to a very high standard and take pride in everything I do. I have an SVQ 2 in Health and Social Care, fully insured and I’m SSSC registered. I have been trained to an excellent standard and I also do voluntary work as part of Compassionate Inverclyde, sitting with and being a support and comfort to people who are dying. Also being a companion for elderly and lonely people. References available on request.

| I'm honest, reliable, cheerful, and love working with the elderly after spending much of my teenage life looking after my elderly granny. I knew that was what I wanted to do as I have 15 years experience working as a carer and have been a trained nurse for the past 8 years. I'm now taking a break from nursing as I find the paperwork takes me away from what I love doing, hands on care and spending time with my clients.
