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.
