Aside from being suitably trained and experienced, there are many attributes that make up a good palliative carer.
Having an understanding and an appreciation for the client’s daily challenges – both physical and emotional – is important. Any life-limiting illness comes with its ups and downs and your carer will understand this – their job is to help you have more ups than downs.
A good palliative carer takes the time to understand your concerns and will make sure that your care needs are being met and supporting you to live well at home.
Compassionate and caring are equally important traits, as is humour and companionship. That’s why Nayland Care always matches you with a carer who you can have confidence in and who we know you’ll like.
