\nThe UK has an ageing population and many older people require assistance at home. Here, three people who provide that care reveal what their roles entail \u2013 and why they love the challenges and varietyAfter 40 years in the healthcare profession, Kate Herron could have decided just to enjoy her retirement. Instead the former nurse started a new career as a care professional with Home Instead Down and Lisburn, in Northern Ireland. \u201cMy daughters say I\u2019m good at retiring but not very good at staying retired!\u201d she says. \u201cBut it\u2019s such a rewarding job. I get a lot of job satisfaction out of helping people.\u201dOver the past seven years, Herron has worked with more than 170 clients, providing about 10,000 hours of care. Some may need help with personal care, eating and support overnight. Others need companionship, help with household chores and assistance travelling to medical appointments. She\u2019s currently providing live-in care to Margaret who has advanced dementia. Herron is with her for 24 hours a day, alternating shifts with another colleague. The pair take care of Margaret\u2019s every need. \u201cEven though Margaret doesn\u2019t recognise us any more, she knows she\u2019s safe,\u201d Herron says. \u201cI call her Lady Margaret and say I\u2019m her lady in waiting. It used to make her giggle. Sometimes I still get that glimmer again. It\u2019s often the simple things you do for someone that can have the biggest impact.\u201d Continue reading…
