What Care Concern Homecare employees say about their job

  • Best thing

    The best thing is when we have a good team of full staff , which means we can spend time with residents and do things with them, one to one .

    Worst thing

    The worst is not knowing what you are walking into and our floor is the forgotten floor, if we are under staffed told to get on with it but its the residents that suffer as well as staff and its not fair on the residents
