❤️People often tell me, “You must have so much patience to do that kind of work.” They say it with a soft voice and a little head tilt. I know they mean it as a compliment, but they’ve got it wrong.

Patience is what you use when you’re waiting in line at the supermarket and the person ahead of you is paying in pennies. Patience is what you summon when your Wi-Fi goes down. Patience is about waiting for something to end.

Support work isn’t about waiting. It’s about being, being present, being responsive, being humble enough to realise that you’re not the main character in someone else’s story.

The idea that good support work is rooted in patience sells both the worker and the person they support short. It makes it sound like we’re enduring something, like the person with a disability is a test of our goodness.

The best support workers I’ve met don’t have halos of patience hovering over their heads. They have skills. They know how to listen beyond words. They notice tiny details, a shift in tone, a glance, a pause... and they adjust. They can turn frustration into collaboration. They know how to make space for someone’s independence without stepping in to “fix” everything.

Patience says, “I’ll wait for you to catch up.”
Good support says, “I’ll walk with you, at your pace, and learn the rhythm of your stride.”

So no, disability support work doesn’t take patience. It takes respect. It takes skill.

And it’s all year round 👇

🎄 This Christmas, the best gift you can give is your time.

For many older people, the festive season can be much quieter than it once was. Family may live far away, routines change, and the long winter days can feel isolating. Even with decorations up and cards on the mantelpiece, loneliness can still be there.

What makes the biggest difference is often the simplest things. Taking time to visit. Picking up the phone just to chat. Sitting down for a cup of tea without rushing. Listening to stories that have been told before, because being heard still matters.

If you have an older loved one, neighbour or friend, reaching out this Christmas could mean more to them than you realise. And if you’re supporting someone and finding it difficult, please know that help is available. No one should have to carry the responsibility of care alone.

From all of us at Unique Home Care NI, let’s look out for one another this Christmas and help make the season feel a little warmer for everyone. 💙

“I love making a difference to peoples lives, especially when we work with challenging behaviours. It’s not your normal walk in the park care job and us as a team are a big family.” – Amy

This is the kind of honest feedback we hear from our team.🦋💜
Care isn’t always easy, but when you work with people who support each other and you can actually see the impact you’re making, it’s a job that sticks with you.

We’re sharing Amy’s words because they sum up what working in homecare is really like — real people, real teamwork, and work that matters.

And if you’re someone who values that too, we’ve updated our Careers Page with all current positions!

🎄 As we head into Christmas, we just want to say a huge thank you to our staff.

To our team spending Christmas morning helping someone get ready.
To the ones popping in with a smile on the coldest nights.
To those who bring comfort, company and dignity 365 days a year.

You make people feel seen.
You make people feel safe.
You make people feel special, even on days when the world is lonely or hard.

Christmas can be a beautiful time, but it can also be challenging for the people we support.
And because of you, they never face it alone!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.💜
We wish all of our incredible team a happy Christmas.
