Simply put, a Care Worker performs a range of tasks, depending on the needs of the person they care for. It could be medical assistance, helping out with housework, preparing meals, or just having a chat. Find out more about what a Care Worker does below.
Have you ever wondered if you’d be the right fit for care? Or are you ready to make the first move into a career in care? With such a variety of roles on offer, it can be difficult to find the answers to the questions you want to ask. So what does a Care Worker do, and what does a day in the life of a Care Worker look like?
Your day may start bright and early, because some of our care service users need help getting out of bed, dressed and washed ready for the day ahead. You might then help them to prepare breakfast or take medication. Because often the people we care for are elderly, or vulnerable, they appreciate your company, so you’ll be doing lots of chatting and catching up too.
On your next visit, you might be helping with the washing up or a quick dust of the sides. Something as simple as a zip around with the hoover can make a huge difference to our service users, who often find tasks like these difficult. As always, you’ll be chatting away, listening and making someone’s day that little bit better and brighter.
Did someone say lunch? Next up you might be helping to prepare a meal or, if the person is bed-bound, you could be turning them to a more comfortable position. Maybe you’ll change a dressing, organise medication or help with laundry.
Later in the day, you could be visiting someone with dementia, so they might need reassurance, guidance and some help with organisation. In these circumstances, a friendly face can help to make sense of the world, so it’s a good job that to those who need us, our Care Workers are often seen as friends too.
Just before the evening, you could be asked to help turn down a bed, prepare an evening meal, or help the client to use the toilet before settling down for the night. Depending on your role, you may also be asked to assist someone overnight. This could be in the case of providing respite for carers, dementia care, live-in care or overnight care.
Royal Home care is a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment where residents receive personalized care and support from our dedicated caregivers and nurses.
