Caroline is joined by Fiona and Judith to discuss what makes a good carer. Judith shares her insights as an informal carer and Fiona, as a very independent client. They discuss how respectful communication, a sense of humour and asking rather than assuming can help put people at ease. They explore the importance of patience, empathy and the benefits that varied and interesting conversations have. Continuity of care and the building or friendships definitely runs as a theme throughout this podcast, that in some cases this happens quickly and in other cases it takes a little more time.
The discussion highlights how important it is for care providers to ensure safer recruitment processes are carried out in full and all necessary due diligence is completed.
