LC HOME CARE

Every day is different in my line of work.
An hour spent with a client litter picking her road today since she is no longer able to go on her own.

In the past 18 months I’ve seen a significant increase in the number of individuals advertising themselves as “home carers” on local social media sites.

I would implore anyone looking in to care for their loved one to do their own thorough research prior to making any decision.

Some things to consider are:
✏️ Do they have a current DBS check?
✏️ Do they provide their own PPE?
✏️ Do they have relevant qualifications such as NVQ, nursing or degree qualification?
✏️ Can they provide up to date and relevant references in the areas you require?
✏️ Can they cover the visits your require and have capacity to increase if the clients health needs change?
✏️ Do they have public liability insurance?
✏️ Do they have car business insurance to be able to safely transport the client?
✏️ Are they registered self employed with HMRC?
✏️ Do they regularly complete CPD courses to stay up to date?
✏️ If they have a social media page do they comply with GDPR.

If anyone is looking for transportation for their elderly loved one I thoroughly recommend Driving Miss Daisy. When I had 2 clients moving to their new home they did an amazing job transporting them safely and with care.

❤️ Today we said our final goodbyes to this wonderful man.
We spent many happy hours watching boats go up and down the Solent with the binoculars ⛴️and talking all things gardening 🌺
In the end he passed away peacefully on his birthday surrounded by the family he cherished so dearly.
Sleep well Derry xx
