Description
PrimeCarers connects self-employed carers with families in and around Abergavenny who need patient, reliable support for people living with dementia at home. You’ll be helping clients stay in familiar surroundings, keep routines and feel safe and understood. Right now, 3 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
The work is centred on relationship-based support: gentle personal care, prompting medication, mealtime companionship, meaningful activities and safe short outings where appropriate. The best matches are with carers who bring patience, calm communication, a respect for routine and the ability to adapt to each person’s pace. Care can be short visits, longer calls or live-in arrangements depending on what you and a family agree.
