Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a Senior Care Assistant really looks like?! 🌞

Well, now you know! Kayleigh over at Riverdale Care Home shared with us what a typical day looks like for her from 8am when the day is just beginning, right through to 8pm when she heads home to spend time with her family (and frenchie 🐶)!

Deputy Manager Brydy told us: "If I was to describe Kayleigh in a sentence, I’d say that she is very positive, helpful, fun and committed."

“Having each other’s back and looking after each other is a good quality in a friend, and William looks after me." 🥰

William and John at Millfield Nursing Home in Bolsover have been best buddies since January 2024 when William joined the Millfield family! The pair grew up in similar circles at school which gave them lots to talk about, as did their shared love of gardening 🌺

Over the past year and a half they have made core memories, going on trips to the local pub and Crich Tramway Village - they have a very special brotherly bond!

His background before this role provided him with expertise and knowledge in all areas and he is a true asset to every single home he supports 💫
