Branch Care Manager
My primary role is to do everything I can to support my staff's health, safety, and well-being while ensuring the smooth operation of our services. I am responsible for ensuring that our service meets all legal and regulatory requirements and delivers quality care to our customers. I believe that by prioritising these areas, we can create a safe and supportive environment for both our staff and the people we serve. Originally, I am from Romania and I have a background in education. Over ten years ago, I moved to the UK, where I discovered a passion for working in the care sector. I began my career as a healthcare assistant and, through dedication and hard work, progressed through various roles within the field. In my personal life, I cherish spending time with my family and spoiling them with homemade goodies whenever I get the chance. Cooking and baking for my loved ones brings me great joy, and I take pride in creating delicious treats that bring smiles to their faces. Whether it’s a traditional Romanian dish or a new recipe I’ve discovered, sharing these moments with my family is a source of happiness and fulfillment. Overall, my journey from Romania to the UK and from healthcare assistant to my current role has been driven by a passion for care.

Home care Dunstable
-
Choosing a care provider for yourself or a loved one can be quite a daunting prospect, but with our friendly and compassionate team in Dunstable, we can take all of the stress and anxiety away for you by providing tailored home care. There’s no need to worry about moving into a care home where you’ll be away from loved ones and have less independence; we can provide the right support for you whilst you remain living in the comfort of your own home, perhaps alongside a spouse, partner or pet.
Visiting care from Helping Hands can start from weekly visits to help you with washing the dishes, collecting your groceries and running the vacuum round, to more regular support throughout the day and overnight, assisting you with personal care, administering medication and moving in and around your home safely. What’s more, with a small group of carers that you can build a rapport with, you’ll be able to continue with existing hobbies such as tending to your garden, visiting local beauty spots or even taking up new hobbies, with their assistance of course.

Live-in care in Dunstable for 24-hour support
-
Live-in care offers additional support throughout the day and night for those living with more complex health conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s or a spinal injury. It allows individuals to still stay at home and retain as much of their independence as possible, but with specialised support and companionship.
Choosing live-in care means that you will have a dedicated carer living with you in your home to provide 24-hour support for your physical and mental needs – whether that’s assisting with continence care, helping you get dressed or simply being there if you become anxious during the night. We’ll work with you to find a carer that is just right for you in both experience and personality, so that you can build a bond of trust with them and accept them into your home.
