Gemma Dawson, a Care Assistant from Caremark (Dacorum & St Albans) recently became a home care hero during one of her calls, where she found a client in distress. “At 21:15 on Friday night, the carer arrived for her evening duty. She was concerned at my wife's serious loss of balance and decided to request an ambulance. The carer was told that there were "more important cases to be dealt with", and there was no ambulance available for several hours. The carer refused to accept this and called again. She was eventually advised the paramedics be called. After a series of tests, they found my wife had a faulty heart condition and took her straight to hospital where she stayed overnight. At around 08:30 Saturday morning, my wife was taken to another hospital from where a surgeon telephoned me to say he was going to operate immediately & give my wife a pacemaker. He agreed her Carer's diligence had saved her life! The diagnosis was: Complete heart block-emergency dual-chamber pacemaker”. Without this decisive, professional action, Gemma’s client may not have survived this ordeal.

“It is intimidating when you first go into someone’s home as you want to get everything right. The most important thing to me is getting to know each person to see what they need from me. I treat every customer like they are my own family & that's the best advice I could give anyone thinking about being a Carer." Natasha got her first glimpse of care when her grandfather needed palliative care. Seeing the dignity & respect he was given spurred her on to want to help others so she became a Care Assistant for Caremark Kirklees.
