“A Community Support Worker (CSW) Conference I attended recently was about the need for CSWs’ values to be centred on treating residents well – never overriding residents’ rights and always being an advocate for them, for instance. It’s mind-blowing to know these are already Rescare’s values. It shines through in our residents’ happiness: they’re contented. We care for residents with the same humanity we give our own families, and we don’t rush them to fit into our schedules. They can take time getting ready for bed and showering, and at mealtimes, for example.”
