Our carers
When it comes to finding a carer for someone close to you, you want to find a carer who genuinely cares, and loves what they do.
What qualities should you look for in a carer?
Care can be as difficult as it is rewarding, and if a carer sees it as ‘just a job’ they’ll be likely to struggle. At Homecare Gurus, we focus on identifying excellent carers who are an ideal match for our client, both in terms of interaction and care required.
Respect
As a person ages, independence and mental capacity reduce and as carers we can unwittingly appear patronising as we try to help them. Elderly people have a great deal of experience and often want to maintain as much of their independence as possible. Our carers are trained recognise the client’s capacity and capabilities, providing support where needed.
Empathy And Compassion
Ageing can be a confusing and difficult process, as everyday tasks become more challenging. At Homecare Gurus, we understand the emotions an elderly person may endure. It’s easy to become frustrated when simple tasks take so much longer. In such situations, our carers are confident and patient to restore calm.
Reliability
You need to know that your carer will be there to ensure your loved one can eat, drink and take their medication properly every time. You want to ensure that they are there consistently to do the best job they possibly can. A reliable, respectful carer is someone you can trust.
Positive energy
A cheerful disposition will go along way to make anyone's day feel brighter. Many elderly people can suffer from depression or anxiety, and a carer can be a much needed, positive presence in their world. It's much easier for a carer to encourage an uncooperative elderly person to eat and drink properly if they are cheerful and upbeat.
Peace of mind, guaranteed.
