Having completed the Care Certificate through The CPD Standards Office and the Home Based Care Certificate with the South African Red Cross Society, and possessing 5 years of experience in domiciliary care, I am confident that I can be an asset for your team.
My experience in caring for elderly individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease has equipped me with the skills and knowledge needed to provide exceptional person-centred care to your clients. I understand the unique challenges that clients with diverse conditions face, and I am committed to delivering personalized care that promotes their wellbeing and independence. My experience has allowed me to develop and strengthen the various skills required to safely care for clients.I am highly skilled in administering medications, safe moving and handling, meal preparation, documenting activities, safeguarding, client observation, and assisting with the activities of daily living (ADLs) including bathing, toileting and grooming. In addition, I pride myself in maintaining clean and safe environments for clients by performing light housekeeping. As I have a valid driver’s licence I am also able to safely transport patients and carry out errands as needed.
Having worked closely with healthcare professionals and families, I recognize the importance of effective communication and collaboration. I am skilled in maintaining detailed records, reporting changes in patients' conditions, and facilitating open lines of communication between all stakeholders. My dedication to promoting patient safety and well-being aligns seamlessly with your mission to provide the highest standard of care. My ability to remain calm under pressure and respond promptly in emergency situations ensures that patients are in capable hands at all times.
