June 20, 2024Hello world!
January 20, 2025In 2018, Claire Tindall began a transformative chapter in her career by joining Acacia Homecare. Now, five years later, Claire is celebrating this milestone anniversary with us. To honour the occasion, we sat down with Claire to discuss her journey, from her initial challenges and experiences to her advice for those starting out in caregiving.
Embracing a New Role in Caregiving
Before joining Acacia Homecare, Claire worked as a domestic cleaner. Transitioning into caregiving was a significant change, but one that she embraced wholeheartedly. Reflecting on the journey, Claire described her time at Acacia as “wonderful.” Although she had initial concerns about her ability to adapt to caregiving, Acacia Homecare’s comprehensive induction training and shadowing shifts gave her the confidence to excel.
The Rewarding Side of Caregiving
One of Claire’s favorite aspects of her role is interacting with customers. “I look forward to seeing the smile on their faces when I come into their home,” she shared. For Claire, knowing that her visits make a difference in her customers’ lives is incredibly fulfilling. The support from the office team has been instrumental in her success, ensuring she can reach her appointments safely and make any necessary adjustments to her schedule.
Overcoming Challenges with Support
Like many caregivers, Claire faced challenges early on. She mentioned experiencing back pain during her first few months on the job. However, Acacia Homecare’s refresher training on best practices for moving and handling helped her manage these issues. Additionally, the support from her fellow caregivers and office staff has been invaluable in helping her navigate the more challenging aspects of the role.
Growing in the Caregiver Role
Claire has seen significant growth in her caregiving skills over the years. “I’ve been able to grow my knowledge of caregiving, and I’m glad I can make a difference in people’s lives,” she reflected. This growth has not only benefited her personally but has made a profound impact on the lives of her customers.
