Care Coordinator - Rainbow Wells

Rainbow joined Home Instead Senior Care in July 2011. Her career in care started once she had left school and started working for a home care company and then briefly in a residential care home. Rainbow soon realised that Home Care was her calling and applied for a job as a CAREGiver with us. Rainbow soon proved to be very capable within her new role and was quickly promoted to Senior CAREGiver. Rainbow excelled at this position and handled her new found responsibility very well. After expressing interest in the Care Coordinator position, Rainbow was given an opportunity to be our Junior Care Coordinator and was soon promoted to Care Coordinator full time. Rainbow is also our qualified Alzheimer’s and Dementia trainer. This was decided after we recognised that Rainbow had a natural talent for communicating with and caring for our clients with Dementia. Rainbow is a popular member of the team and always goes the extra mile for our clients.  She enjoys being around friends and family and simply enjoys life.
