Ms Quelch reveals what a typical working day is like as a home care worker.

A Day in the Life of a Cadog Homecare Worker

You need to be ‘cheerful, empathetic and a good listener

To be a home care worker, Ms Quelch says you need to be cheerful, empathic and a good listener. You have to be able to make the person feel as if they are very important for the time you are with them.

A Typical Working Day

I visit elderly clients in their own homes in and around the Llandeilo area (Carmarthenshire). I love my job – no two days are ever the same even though I generally visit the same clients.

Early Bird Catches the Worm

My first visit will start at 6:45 am. I go to see an elderly lady who lives alone but has family close by. I am there to give her the confidence to shower independently, prepare her breakfast, wash up, clean the bathroom after she has finished using it, and carry out any other tasks she may need doing such as ironing. I check she is eating her breakfast and has all she needs before leaving for my next appointment.

Specialist Dementia Training

After this, I drive to my next client – an elderly lady with dementia who lives alone. I am able to use the specialist dementia training we receive at Cadog Homecare. This includes things such as not asking direct questions (this is very hard at first but does make a huge difference), not contradicting, and gathering as much information as possible from the ‘expert’ (the person with dementia).

Making Everyone Comfortable

I arrive, let myself in and call out ‘hello’ to let her know that I have arrived. I find her in bed and offer to assist her with a wash and a change of clothes. This is accepted along with the promise of a footbath. I get everything ready and we chat and laugh together as she has a wash and changes her clothes. Then she puts her feet into the bath of warm, soapy water and sits, soaking and splashing her feet. We talk about all sorts of things – her love of knitting, working in a shop and then somehow get on talking about childhood memories!

At the end of the visit I always tell her when I will be back and leave her with a cup of tea and a biscuit, and she waves me off down her drive from the window of her bungalow. I then go on to my next client and so on!

Last Client of the Day

I now go to my last client of the day. Here I am greeted by the client’s wife at the door.

I then find out his dinner preferences and find out what he would like for supper. I make soup with assistance from the client’s wife and he decides he would like a jacket potato and salad dressing for dinner. I also prepare garlic mash and vegetables for him to have with her supper. Whilst the client has his dinner I make conversation whilst doing some light chores such as washing, bed making and cleaning.

You Learn So Much about People and their Lives

The joys of this job really are the variety, the people you meet and the journeys you can go on with them. You learn so much about people and their lives without having to ask too many questions, just by listening. Where else can you get so much variety, and laughter!
