Caremark Wokingham & Bracknell

Q: Tea or Coffee? A frothy Coffee.

Q: Do you prefer the Window or Aisle Seat on a bus/plane? Definitely a window seat. I enjoy watching the world go by but also a perfect seat to prop your head against the window for a quick nap!

Q: What do you do outside of work? Playing sports with friends and family, or constantly doing DIY at home.

Q: One memory in Home Care? I get a lot of self-satisfaction when the team can assist in organising a care package for a client. Home Care is never on somebody's mind until they really need it; therefore, anything small or big we can help with puts a smile on my face as I know with our help that the client is at home safe.

Q: Tea or Coffee? Black Tea.

Q: Have you checked something off your Bucket List? What was it? I have done two things so far! One was a Sky Dive, which was exhilarating and would have gone straight up again if I had the opportunity. The other was travelling around South America for six months, as it was such a brilliant experience to experience new cultures.

Q: What do you do outside of work? I love to go for dog walks, spend time with family and enjoy going swimming or to the gym with my son.

Q: One memory in Home Care? I was able to organise and facilitate going into London with a Client. They wanted to revisit some of the places her and her husband would go to when they were first married. When we got there, she was amazed at how busy it had become but also how much it had changed. She was so grateful for the trip as she did not think it was possible.

Q: What do you do outside of work? I am a very creative person and love anything to do with arts and crafts, and also love taking photos of people and wonderful scenery. Currently, I am into making things out of resin.

Q: One memory in Home Care? I began working at Caremark as a live-in Carer and looked after one client for quite a few years. During this time, I built a great rapport and friendship with them; therefore, it is very difficult to choose just one memory, but I know that the many tasks I did over those years made this individual’s life much easier and happier while living in their own home.

Q: One memory in Home Care? I love to make a positive difference to a client’s life during a difficult time when they need care, whether it is having a laugh and joke with them or making their day-to-day tasks a little easier. These are the memories I cherish when I think about care in your own home.

Q: One memory in Home Care? As a Live In Coordinator, I am able to meet lots of clients and help find appropriate Live-in Carers for their needs. Many clients get anxious about having a carer live with them to help assist them every day, but helping them pick the right Carer and regularly visiting them to see how they are getting on gives me joy to see they are being looked after well.
