Why a home care assistant stays essential in the age of AI
- Helping someone wash, dress and eat is done with two hands and a lot of tact, in their own home.
- Noticing that a person has lost weight, is sadder or has a new bruise takes a human eye that knows them.
- For many older people, the carer is the one real conversation of the day.
Is it for you? Five signs
- You are patient with slowness.
- You respect people's homes and habits.
