The people you look after will have different issues, which may include mobility, health problems, dementia and loneliness. However, with the right training, mentoring and support from a senior care and management team, the job becomes satisfying and rewarding, knowing you are helping someone to live as safe and independent as possible in their own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Donna&#8217;s story <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NTEgNTk3IiB3aWR0aD0iNDUxIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjU5NyIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRm94Zm9yZGhvdXNlY2FyZS5jb20lMkZjb21tdW5pdHktY2FyZSUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGc2l0ZXMlMkYyJTJGMjAyMyUyRjEyJTJGZGItMS5wbmciIGRhdGEtdz0iNDUxIiBkYXRhLWg9IjU5NyIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Picture of Carer \" class=\"wp-image-2592 size-full\"\/><noscript data-spai=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai\/q_glossy+ret_img+to_auto\/oxfordhousecare.com\/community-care\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/db-1.png\" data-spai-egr=\"1\" alt=\"Picture of Carer \" class=\"wp-image-2592 size-full\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Donna has recently joined our <a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordhousecare.com\/community-care\/home-care-in-maidenhead-windsor\/\">Home Care team in Maidenhead<\/a>.
