Bonds and Friendships
For our customers, their families and our carers, it’s impossible not to form bonds and friendships.
Our carers build bonds and friendships with our customers. They are there through the good times and through the bad. They remain by our customers sides and treat them as they would their own family. It takes a very special person to do this job and we are proud of each and every one of our carers. Here is a short video of some of our carers and customers enjoying their time together.
A Carer’s Poem
Oh to be a carer and look after those
Who for this, is not the life they chose.
It makes you feel proud and you can stand tall,
Another day you gave your all.
A helping hand, a willing ear
Gives them confidence with no fear.
If I can do this, you can too
They just need a helping hand to pull them through.
Shouting, crying, singing or laughing,
Sleeping, eating, dressing or bathing.
It’s you they need to make their day,
Come and give it a go, what do you say?
Time is precious to those in need,
Happiness comes from a few good deeds.
So, it is given freely along with a smile
Why don’t you come and give it a trial?
Who Cares for that Carer
‘Who cares for that carer?’ I hear a man say
‘Her day blends with night and then night becomes day.
‘The cooking, the cleaning, the hospital trips,
The changing, the bathing, wiping food from his lips,
The meltdowns, the tears… so hard to endure,
What keeps her from walking straight out of that door?
I’ll tell you what stops me from leaving each day
And what gets me through when I don’t want to stay
It begins with an ‘L’ and ends with an ‘E’,
It’s a power, a force, emanating from me,
An empathetic heart, a gift from above,
I do this, my friend, in the name of LOVE.
