What to expect
What this assignment means in practice
The key points from this assignment's description and how to prepare for them.
Memory problems or dementia
A steady daily routine, short and calm sentences and patience with repeated questions all help. You can talk through difficult situations with your permanent coordinator.
Wheelchair and transfers
Transfers are about technique, not strength. Before you travel, ask which aids the household has, such as a hoist, a care bed or a transfer board.
Caring for two people
Each person may need different help, so agree on duties and the daily plan with the family from the start.
No night shifts
According to the description, nights are free of duties. It's still worth agreeing working hours and breaks with the family right after you arrive.
Open to men
