Client Visit Scenario
Your day starts with a visit to a client who has recently been feeling quite isolated and emotionally vulnerable due to limited mobility and the recent loss of a spouse. Upon arrival, you greet them with a gentle and caring approach.
After the initial conversation, you assist them with their morning routine, including helping with getting out of bed, personal hygiene, continence care, dressing, and medication prompts. Throughout these tasks, you maintain a caring and sensitive approach, respecting their privacy and independence.
You also ensure the living space is comfortable and safe, handling light housekeeping tasks to keep their home environment secure.
As you leave, you reassure them about your next visit, leaving them with a sense of joy and feeling cared for, both physically and emotionally.
You leave the client, content that they are okay and safe, before heading to your next client visit.
