I hope you have that well...Hello there and welcome. I hope you have that well deserved cup of tea after coming off your shift! I'm so glad you have highlighted the skills you have as a carer that do go unrecognised. You do the job because you care and want to help,you also do it with sincerity, compassion and above all you make the difference to each person you visit. Thank you for being you and making the difference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988394510618237867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466684567723260361.post-12620126560348424182012-06-27T16:40:27.922+01:002012-06-27T16:40:27.922+01:00Hi, I have just come off shift as a Reablment Comm...Hi, I have just come off shift as a Reablment Community Carer and have discovered the Carers' Coffeepot. It is nice to find something for us Community Carers. After todays shift I have decided we must be the most underated profession going. Some of you will probably say that you knew this along, but hey, I am a bit slow on the uptake.<br />In our work, we care for people with so many different dibilitating illnesses, Dementia, Parkinsons, various Cancers, MS, Motor Neurone Disease, Amputees and lots more. This is far from an easy job when done properly.<br />We are not medically trained like Nurses, we can can not apply or change dressings, catheter bags or tell people what their medication is for and nor do we know the answers to many questions asked by the people we care for or their families, although some professthey know more than they do and often give out the wrong information.<br />Most of us are in the job because we care, we want to help.<br />But do people realise that as caring people, we deal with things in a day that most would choose not to see or would not be able to cope with, we are not just "a cleaner" or "someone that empties commodes. so please can someone tell me why our skills are not more widely recognised and acknowledged more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466684567723260361.post-28049179358654940432012-06-16T01:02:19.553+01:002012-06-16T01:02:19.553+01:00Great to hear from you.Keep up the good work, you ...Great to hear from you.Keep up the good work, you are doing a wonderful job.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988394510618237867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466684567723260361.post-84566691030472494082012-06-16T00:24:27.708+01:002012-06-16T00:24:27.708+01:00You are so right fluffy wings.

It's wonderful to see Jim and Gertie gain confidence after a long stay in hospital, when they are suddenly back home, alone and without the social contact they had with other patients. Slowly goal by goal, you watch them take tentative steps toward independence again. Some manage in days, others a full six weeks. But with time, encouragement confidence grows, and they are truly thankful for a service many never knew existed. I love working in Reablemnt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
