Whether you support someone with disabilities in their own home or a facility, you have PROFOUND influence. You can help to make their lives a living hell or a paradise. Check your attitude before entering their home.
How do you feel when you have help in your home? If you were getting some kind of service in your home wouldn’t you want to be treated respectfully? We are all aware that other people’s moods and attitudes affect us. Moods and attitudes are contagious. After your shift you get to go home. They are in their home.
Evaluate why you are working the job. Before entering someone’s home I always remind myself that I am entering their life. It’s not ‘just a job’. It’s someone’s life. Sky
