The work of a carer with Corinium Care

The duties of a Corinium Care carer very much depend on the needs of the client. But they are on hand 24/7 to help with personal care such as washing and bathing, to do household duties such as cooking, cleaning and shopping, and to help make their client’s life as rich as possible. Sometimes carers might walk the dog.

Most of all, they are always there to provide companionship and peace of mind. They encourage their client to be as independent as possible, while ensuring their safety and wellbeing.

Carers are expected to look after clients with the same compassion as they would a member of their own family by helping them perform the activities of daily living. Common sense, patience and a sense of humour are helpful attributes!

Realising the importance of continuity to both our clients and carers, we try and propose the same regular carer for each client so the two individuals can build a good rapport based on mutual respect and understanding. 

The carer is appointed for a minimum seven-day period on a live-in basis. You are fully informed of the routine and care aspects of the job before you go and are trained to cope with the needs of that particular client.
