Health care assistant - Ringway mews care home

(2020-06)

In this job, my roles and responsibilities differed; from dementia care to residential. In a day I would assist residents with personal care, I would then use the correct equipment, depending on their condition, to help them move to either a chair in the room or the lounge where the residents sit to do their daily activities. I would perform personal care more than once as many residents need this support.

I would put out and serve food to the residents, some residents were on different food diets which are assessed by the SALT team. I would assist residents with eating if they were unable too. Throughout the day communication is used a lot, talking to the residents makes there day a little bit better, it may only be 10 minutes but it helps.

Before the end of a shift residents will be offered to go to bed. Again, the correct equipment would be used to do this. Paper work is important, each day food and fluid dairy's, bed rails, positional changes, personal hygiene and daily notes have to be completed.
