A Personal Perspective: My Journey with Home Instead

“When I joined Home Instead in May 2024, I knew I had chosen the right place to start my journey into care work. Right away, I felt welcomed, creating an environment where I felt at ease, even though I can be quite shy. No matter what challenges came my way, I knew I had a team behind me, ready to help with anything. Feeling this amount of safety made every day not only manageable but enjoyable.

In just a few short months, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many lovely clients. Each one has their own stories, personalities, and quirks. I’ve already formed some really special bonds that make getting up in the morning feel worthwhile. It’s these connections that bring joy to my day, knowing that I can make a difference in someone’s life, even in small ways. The smiles, the gratitude, and the moments of shared laughter remind me daily of how rewarding this job is.”

Making a Difference Every Day

Home care isn’t just about practical support, it’s about being there for someone in a way that matters. That means:

✔ Helping with day-to-day tasks
✔ Encouraging independence
✔ Offering companionship and conversation
✔ Supporting them to stay involved in their community

“Working at Home Instead is about more than just providing care; it’s about empowering people to maintain their independence while still having the comforts of their own home. There’s a sense of fulfilment that comes from seeing the benefits of your work first-hand, knowing that you’re contributing to someone’s well-being.”

Even the smallest actions can have the biggest impact; a smile, a chat, or simply being there for someone who might otherwise feel alone.

This transparency and honesty ensure that we’re never put in uncomfortable situations, which gives me a lot of trust in the team.”
