Health Care Assistant, Level 3 Nursing at Carlton Court Care Home
  • United Kingdom - London
  • My current job since September 2012

I have cared for the elderly, looking at their careplan and following the basic needs, personal care and nutritional needs for their development and growth. Activities that help them to keep fit like Reading Poetry in a group, Painting, making chocolates, cakes and well-being like doing their nails and hair salon care - a proper haircut and wash and blow-dry. Their meal plans are taken care of like pureed, soft or normal diets, they can be diabetic and have thickner or normal fluids. Meals are prepared as per their choice and needs, they are asked daily what they like. Fluids are given to them for proper bowel movements and to keep they from getting dehydrated. Supervised a team of new carers into the normal working of the floor. Introduction of safeguarding and Infection control very important for care.
Caring for a person means meeting their basic needs on a 12 hour shift and delivering their care as per their care plan exclusively. It gives them happiness and joy to continue to live in the world and make them satisfied. It helps them feel loved and a feeling of belonging in their world. Most of all this care makes them smile, taking away the pains.
End of life care helps an individual to be cared fully and as they turn to the light at the end of that journey, we help them along into its smooth transition to another world. People with cancer, COPD, Diabetes have a very pained journey in their lives. Professionals and Hospice care is recommended, SALT team helps them as well.
I am presently in care as I trained further to Level 5 Health and Social Care (Leadership and Management) in order to achieve this and to continue working in my life. I have other skills like Leadership & Management, Secretarial, Childcare Level 2 EYE and 3 EYE Childcare Practitioner.
