“The care we deliver is companionship rather than task based and so we look at the person as a whole and make sure their social needs are taken care of as well as their physical needs. It’s a very different approach.”

Adrian also commented on his role as a caregiver.

He said, “It was a really great feeling to be able to support Vera through her recovery and get her out of the house after such a long time. It gave me a great feeling to know that she was so happy and that her family were also delighted and appreciative of the support.

“My aim is to continue supporting my clients to the best of my ability. One of the things about caring for people is that you never stop learning, so continuing learning within my role and developing personally is very important to me.”

“As I do have quite a bit of experience now, I’m also considering taking on more senior duties at Home Instead. But at the end of the day, it’s caring for my clients that gives me the most satisfaction.”
