Working at DereKare: The Workplace Our Team Our Values
About the Client
Unusual and exceptional. Like in some terrible feelgood movie.
The first thing to understand about our client is that he is not the typical person in home care. He’s not some old geezer. He’s not mentally or socially impaired. He’s not awkward. He’s faced physical challenges his whole life, but they’ve only recently become very limiting.
Our client is intelligent, successful, kind, funny, and thoughtful. He works full time in a high-end job at a huge global firm. He has a beautiful family, a beautiful home, and a lot of passions and interests. He’s traveled widely and lived well. He has a big heart and a bigger drive to make a positive difference.
What is the client like?
We asked 20 current and former caregivers anonymously. The bigger the word, the more often it was mentioned.
Despite his situation growing ever more difficult, our client manages his job, his care, his family, and his relationships with a relaxed ease and genuine smile. He is fiercely independent and hates needing care, but he is proud of the team he’s built and the connections he’s made.
