Homecare<br />
ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
There is a lot about adult care in<br />
the news, and we know that it can<br />
be a really rewarding career so we<br />
had a chat to Hugh Bernard who<br />
works with the great team at <strong>New</strong><br />
<strong>Forest</strong> Homecare, who have been<br />
helping people remain independent<br />
in their own homes since 2004.<br />
Older people may not be as physically active as they were,<br />
and when they also lose perhaps a little of the clarity of mind<br />
they once had, how do you ensure that your clients stay well<br />
and in contact with their surroundings?<br />
We have really good support from our managers, who make<br />
sure that we have a background of our client’s interests and<br />
lifestyle before we ever make a visit. This means that we already<br />
know what topics may interest them and how we can really<br />
build a rapport get to know them better. Our team encourages<br />
independence and the care plans that are created reflect this.<br />
You obviously build up meaningful relationships with your<br />
clients, can you share with us a really rewarding moment?<br />
One of my most rewarding moments has got to be when a client<br />
who had often refused personal care allowed me to assist after<br />
I had really got to know them. We had built up a good rapport<br />
and they felt comfortable enough to accept assistance from me,<br />
which was a real breakthrough.<br />
And finally, can you sum up for us what, in your opinion, is<br />
the best aspect of a job in the care sector?<br />
This is really good experience for me as I am completing a<br />
degree in the health sector. It’s ideal having a job where I can<br />
broaden my knowledge and gain some hands-on experience.<br />
The best aspect of a job in the care sector is most definitely the<br />
buzz you get when you leave a client and you know that all is<br />
well. You know they have everything they need and that you’ve<br />
helped them have a good start or end to the day.<br />
