Working for Home Instead is a pleasure, the office staff are extremely helpful in trying to accommodate a good work life balance and matching Clients to Carers, extremely professional at all times and always on hand to resolve any queries. A joy to work for.
For me as a carer it’s about building a trusting relationship and getting to know the person as an individual as well as following all the appropriate guidelines. I might be the only person they see that day so I want to do everything I can in that time to fulfill all their needs and wishes and have a positive impact on that person’s day.
I love my role and don't really think of it as a job it’s a pleasure and a privilege that people let me in to their home to help them stay in surroundings that make them feel happy and safe. I have met the most amazing, interesting people who really brighten my day.

I have been working for home instead for 8 years now. When I started, I was 55 and had just sold my business which I had had for 23 years.
I am very dyslexic and thought there was nothing I could do. My wife suggested I try care as I used to look after my father. I rang home instead and got an interview. I explained that I was dyslexic to the Recruiter, she told me as long as I made it clear to the office staff to decipher it should be ok.
I was encouraged and assisted to do a diploma at mac college and promoted to supervisor.
I have loved every minute of my time here caring for my clients getting to know them and their stories and helping them to stay at home and be the best they can be.
It’s incredibly humbling to receive the thanks of the client and their families and would and do
recommend it to anyone who wants to have a full and rewarding Career.

This means that everyone receives a care package to suit their needs as per their choices and they can stay confident and comfortable whilst maintaining their independence for longer, all while remaining in their own home.”

- Will my loved one have to give up their pet now they have been diagnosed with dementia?
When someone is diagnosed with dementia, it is often assumed that keeping their beloved pet is impossible. This is not necessarily the case. Studies have shown that pets have actually been known to increase the health of those with dementia while providing them with a friend to spend their time with. Owning a cute and cuddly companion can even be an essential part of their daily routine. Before jumping to any conclusions, it may be beneficial to review all of your options when it comes to this important decision.
An unexpected diagnosis can be frightening or difficult, and some might discover that they want their pet to remain by their side. After considering the following factors, you may find that there are other alternatives to immediately giving up a best friend.
Discover More - How can I help my loved one when they have dementia?
For people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, lack of stimulation and boredom can be one of the most frustrating things. It’s important to provide activities that engage and bring pleasure to people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Stimulating activities can help keep them in high spirits and prevent them from developing depression, whilst lessening anxiety and irritability.
Activities should aim to:
- Stir memories and allow them to reminisce about their life
- Foster emotional connections with others – contact with others is vital
- Encourage self-expression
- Make them feel more engaged with life
- Help them feel productive
- My loved one with Dementia has begun to develop aggressive behaviour, can you give me any advice?
If you have a relative with dementia – perhaps you are their carer – you may be aware that at some point you might find yourself dealing with aggressive behaviour from them. This is a prospect that many people fear, but there are ways to cope with such challenging behaviours.
Discover More - Are there warning signs that I or my loved one are getting dementia?
The early stages of dementia are not always obvious, and symptoms and problems might develop slowly. To add to these difficulties, early signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia are frequently easy to dismiss as a normal sign of ageing. However, if you know what to look out for, you can keep an eye on yourself and your loved ones and identify symptoms early. This will allow you to get the medical advice early on and work out care ahead of time.
Discover More - This is my loved ones first Christmas after being diagnosed with dementia, is there any advice you can give?
For a person with dementia, Christmas poses challenges that include disruption to a routine, confusing changes to décor and the layout of a home, and the pressure to be social over extended periods of time. When somebody’s memory or cognitive skills are deteriorating, they will find these tasks especially difficult; it is important that they are catered for in the most sensitive ways possible.
By looking at each potential challenge in turn, we have suggested some ways to manage these difficulties and have a successful Christmas without causing your loved one with dementia distress or exacerbating their confusion.

Learn More - Where did the name ‘Alzheimer’s’ come from?
Dr. Alois Alzheimer is credited with discovering Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Alzheimer was a well-known and popular German physician and researcher working in the early 1900s. Physicians and scientists at the time had a fascination with the human brain and were studying it to better understand how it worked.
Dr. Alzheimer met Auguste Deter, the first person who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Auguste told Dr. Alzheimer, “I have forgotten myself”. He brought her to the doctor when she started to have memory loss and delusions. Dr. Alzheimer studied her for several years, noting her decline.
Because of Dr. Alzheimer’s discovery, the disease was named after him.
