At the moment I have wonderful carers, they are patient, encouraging, caring, talkative, just lovely people. When they are off for a few days I get two carers who don't treat their job as a caring profession. I have had to tell them to speak to my husband as he sees no one during most days, except me. When walking him to the bedroom, they hurry him along, even though they have plenty of time. I had to tell another carer when my husband asks him a question, they should answer.
No 1, they should be told to talk to their clients even they don't answer.
No 2, be patient, they have plenty of time.
No 3, explain this is not a free service. We have to pay quite a lot towards it.
No 4, without the clients, they would be out of a job.

Thank you for your review, I am pleased that you are happy with the regular care workers; in regards to the carers who are not regular, we try and keep this to a minimum and unfortunately, as discussed, care workers can not work 7 days, so you will have different carers attend to provide time off.
