Domiciliary Care Assistant

“I treat residents like they were my own parents. I'm involved in their lives all the time. So it makes me feel like I am part of the family. Everyday brings something new in a care home, pulling on all sorts of emotions throughout the week, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
