First Rule - Be a Good Listener

 

Image 02

Empathy Carers have developed a startlingly simple but new way at looking at the carer-client relationship and how to ensure the right person becomes that most important figure in a disabled or elderly persons life. We listen.

We need to know what makes a carer tick and what kind of person our client would feel comfortable around. No two care clients are the same and it follows their care needs are different also.

Our job is to match carer and client to maximise the potential for harmony and to maximise client comfort and stability of carer contract. It is never in either parties interest to have carers on short term contracts as this is one of the most upsetting aspects of needing care.

We are recruiting now for carers throughout the UK.

Compatibility Profiling

At the opposing ends of the care spectrum the need for proper profiling of carer and client becomes obvious.

Client A is an elderly woman suffering from dementia but still alert, poor eyesight but still aware of life going on around her. Needs are obvious on the practical side, washing, feeding etc.

The emotional needs of the client need addressing also and she particularly likes to keep up to date with the news and appreciates intelligent conversation and being read to.

Client B is a young male disabled after an accident and in physical rehab to try and walk again. He enjoys pop music, likes to get out regularly to see friends.

In the same way these two people are unified by vulnerability and the need for care they are also complete opposites in every other regard.

Naturally it should also be the case that their carer needs to be tuned into what makes them happy and how to make their life as fulfilling as possible.
