When Jess, one of our Homecare Care Assistants said ‘I love my job!’, we asked her why…
Jess joined Five Lamps Homecare in 2020 and covers Thornaby area. She delivers all types of care ranging from personal care, to domestic and social calls. On this day, Jess was delivering a social call for Yvonne when she took some photos and sent them through titled, ‘I love my job!’.
We went to see the lights at Stockton, had some lunch, did some Christmas shopping and enjoyed a Christmas hot chocolate. Next week, we are going to the Warm Welcome Christmas Party at The Youthy and I am trying to get everyone to dress up. I love my job because of the difference it makes. Yvonne gets to do the things she loves, and I love supporting her doing it
As part of her care package, Yvonne receives one three-hour social call each week since 2023. She gets these to combat social isolation and to attend events in the community so she continues to feel part of her community. Receiving care and support is not just about your health and personal care needs. It is also about supporting people to remain independent and being able to continue doing things they enjoy.
Five Lamps Homecare, part of the Five Lamps Charity is all about Making People Matter.
