Celebrating Angela Lake:
A Beacon of Compassion and Dedication at Home Instead North Devon & Exmoor
Meet our Care Professional of the Year: Angela Lake!
Angela Lake, a treasured member of our team, has emerged as a standout member of the Home Instead team, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of those she cares for. Since joining us in May 2020, Angela has become an indispensable part of our community, showcasing what it truly means to deliver care that goes above and beyond. Her journey with us is a reflection of our core values—compassion, professionalism, and a personal touch that makes all the difference.
A Journey Inspired by Love and Laughter
Angela’s path to care was paved by personal experience and the desire to brighten the lives of others. Having cared for her father during his final days, she discovered the power of humour and empathy in the face of adversity. Her father fondly called her “the joker,” recognising her natural ability to bring light to the darkest moments. This heartfelt encouragement sparked Angela’s passion for making a difference in people’s lives, leading her to a rewarding career with Home Instead.
Going Above and Beyond
Angela’s dedication to her clients is nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to go above and beyond the call of duty is evident in several heartwarming stories shared by those she has supported. From resolving technical issues to ensuring the comfort and safety of her clients, Angela’s actions speak volumes of her commitment. She has been a true advocate, not just in providing care, but in enriching the lives of everyone she touches with her thoughtful gestures and innovations.
One client recounted how Angela helped fix their television, coordinating with an engineer and personally fetching a necessary part. Another shared the simple joy of being able to use a walker more effectively, thanks to Angela’s suggestion. Moreover, her proactive approach in managing medication and her role as a steadfast advocate during consultations highlights her unparalleled dedication to client wellbeing.
A Mentor and Role Model
Angela’s influence extends beyond her direct care responsibilities. She embodies the Home Instead values, serving as an inspiring example for other Care Professionals. Her initiatives, like creating organised meal plans and raising awareness about scams, not only benefit her clients but also enhance the collective knowledge and vigilance of our care team. Angela’s actions reinforce the importance of empathy, innovation, and leadership in delivering exceptional care.
Making a Lasting Impact
Angela’s commitment to improving the lives of those with health challenges is truly commendable. Her personal investment in understanding Huntington’s disease and advocating for a client’s specific needs underscores her role as a compassionate caregiver and a knowledgeable advocate. Angela’s efforts have directly contributed to more positive healthcare experiences and have empowered clients to take proactive steps in their health management.
