Interviews Can be Fun!

Living with dementia is a profoundly challenging experience for individuals and their loved ones. Opting for care at home can significantly alleviate these challenges, offering a beacon of support and comfort. Here are key benefits of this compassionate choice:</p>
<p>Familiar Environment: Staying at home allows individuals with dementia to remain in a familiar setting, reducing confusion and agitation. Familiar surroundings can help in retaining memories and provide a sense of security and comfort.</p>
<p>Personalized Care: Home care is inherently personalized, tailored to the unique needs, preferences, and routines of the individual. This customized approach ensures that care is as effective and comforting as possible, catering directly to the specific requirements of someone living with Alzheimer's or dementia.</p>
<p>Continuous Support and Companionship: Home care provides consistent companionship, critical for mitigating feelings of loneliness and isolation. Caregivers can become trusted friends, offering emotional support and engaging in meaningful activities that stimulate cognitive functions and social interaction.</p>
<p>Flexibility and Adaptability: As dementia progresses, needs change. Care at home offers the flexibility to adjust care plans on an as-needed basis, ensuring the level of care provided evolves in tandem with the individual's condition.</p>
<p>Support for Families: Beyond the direct benefits to the individual, home care eases the emotional and logistical burdens on families. Knowing a loved one is receiving compassionate, professional care at home offers peace of mind and allows families to focus on spending quality time together rather than the stresses of caregiving.</p>
<p>Care at home for dementia sufferers underscores the importance of compassion, comfort, and personalized support, making a profound difference in the lives of those navigating the complexities of dementia.

Yesterday we held our first ever group interview – and it was a great fun!

We invited a small group of candidates who we met at a recent job fair to join us in our office in Leith for a two hour session.This included an overview of Eidyn Care, role plays on various care at home scenarios, a group discussion on confidentiality and of course a few fun ice-breaker games.

We felt it went really well as the candidates got an in depth understanding of the ethos of Eidyn Care, got to meet a number of our team and also meet some other candidates which all led to a far more relaxed atmosphere.

It allowed us to assess their interpersonal skills and see how people genuinely interacted with each other rather than answering prescribed questions in the typical formal interview situation.
We also received great feedback from the candidates who said they had fun and enjoyed being in a group, “much more fun than a normal interview!” and “that was much less scary than I thought it was going to be” were some of the comments we received.

We hope to run more group interviews in the near future so if you would like to come along, please drop us a line or phone us.
