Meet the Team: What Makes a Great Live-in Carer?
Behind every great care experience is a great carer. At McDonald Homecare, we don’t just look for qualifications — we look for character.
The Heart of What We Do
Live-in care is intimate, personal, and often life-changing. That’s why we choose carers who are:
Compassionate and patient
Emotionally mature
Good listeners
Discreet and respectful
Reliable and proactive
Skills and Training
Our carers have:
Experience with elderly care and long-term conditions
Manual handling and first aid training
Specialist skills in areas such as dementia, Parkinson’s, or stroke care
An understanding of safeguarding, dignity, and personal boundaries
Real People, Real Dedication
Many of our carers describe their work as a calling, not just a job. They often build long-term relationships with clients, becoming part of the family.
