Kent Carer

What does senior care in Kent consist of?

Many of us do not want to live in a care or nursing home as we get older or living with certain medical conditions. The idea of leaving your home and community where so many of your memories were made can be upsetting, with senior care in Kent you are able to remain in the home you love. Carers in Kent covers a range of different types of services to the elderly, for example, we can offer Full Time or Part Time and either Live In or Live Out Care.

Respite Care is another option of care that typically is either a carer coming to relieve your current carer if they have holiday time booked off. Or respite care can also be available for those who have just undergone a major operation and need assistance while recovering. Here at Guardian Carers we can tailor each carer to your specific needs and requirements, your carer can be as hands-on as you need.

Guardian Carers can also provide Live In, round the clock care to those individuals who are battling with progressive illnesses such as Dementia. In the UK Dementia affects over 850,000 people and estimated to rise to 2 million by 2050. Having a home carer in Kent is very beneficial for those who are in the early to mid-stages of Alzhimers or Dementia as they are able to remain in their home, around familiar surroundings.

Finding you a home carer in Kent

Once you have decided that home care in Kent is the best option for you or your loved one, Guardian Carers can help you find the exact carer you are looking for. There are two vital aspects to consider when finding a private carer for the elderly; your needs and experience.

Firstly, you may want to discuss what you want from the care service. This can then help you choose the type of care you require, for example, Full Time or Part Time Care and either Live In or Live Out care. This can be chosen through considering if there are particular times of the day you need assistance or whether you need 24 hours support. You should then ask yourself what you would like them to do, whether it is more personal care or helping with household chores. Perhaps you need a private carer near you for a fixed amount of time, for instance, if you are recovering from surgery, and only need help while you heal.

It is important to also consider the work experience and qualifications your home carer in Kent. When hiring a carer in Kent with Guardian Carers you can be sure that each of our carers has a minimum of 3 years experience. However, if you are living with dementia, Alzheimer's, long term illness or recovering from an operation, having a senior carer in Kent that has a nursing qualification can be useful. A carer with medical training would be able to deal with more technical needs, for instance, ventilation monitoring.

Being honest with what help you need is key, as we are then able to find you a carer that can provide you with exactly what you need. Guardian Carers has an extensive list of different types of care available, your care can be fully personalised to perfectly suit you and your needs.

What makes an excellent carer in Kent?

The nature of the care profession can be tough, with the long hours and difficult situations to deal with it can have an emotional and physical impact. But remaining calm, cheerful and responsible is essential for the caring role. The care industry is a very personal service and though having an extensive list of experience and qualifications is needed, that is not all you need, you must also have certain personality traits to become an excellent carer. An excellent private carer would have many attributes such as being reliable, patient, passionate and being able to multitask.

Your carer must be reliable as often those who are receiving care plan their days around their care. Some private carers would be asked to take the care recipient to appointments so it is vital your carer is punctual and complete all activities on time.

Being patient is another important aspect of being a carer as patients are dealing with diminished capabilities. Sometimes your care recipient will be having a bad day and maybe would be slower than usual or finding it difficult to express what they mean, which can be very frustrating for them so you but be able to calm the situation.

If your carer is passionate about their job and love to help others, they are more likely to do it to the best of their ability as well as being smiley and enthusiastic during the time period. Being a carer is a hard and demanding role, you are constantly on your feet and need to be alert, which is why it is important that your carer has a drive about them.

Multitasking is another key attribute needed to be an excellent carer. With carers in Kent, your carer will be working alone, which can result in having a lot to do. You must be able to effectively be able to manage your time and deal with more than one task and one time, whilst ensuring your care recipient is receiving continuous high-quality care.

Here at Guardian Carers, we only employ the best to ensure that you are receiving the highest quality of care.
