Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of a Lakeland Carer

Ever Wondered What a Day Is Like for a Carer? Let Ashleigh Show You the BTS of Her Companionship Call with Mrs. J!

At Lakeland Care, no two days are the same, and that’s what makes the job so rewarding. Today, we’re following Ashleigh, our Senior Carer, on a companionship call with Mrs. J…

Starting the Day with a Smile
Ashleigh’s day kicks off with a quick stop at the office so Mrs J could say hello to the office team. Many of our lovely clients love popping in to say hello and catch up with the staff they chat to on the phone about their  care package. Whether it’s resolving a question or simply sharing a friendly moment, these little visits bring smiles and giggles all around!

Shopping With a Helping Hand
Companionship visits give our clients a chance to do their shopping with a friendly face by their side. For Ashleigh and Mrs. J, it’s a trip to Holland & Barrett for some essentials, followed by a fun bargain hunt in Poundland. Ashleigh makes sure that Mrs. J has everything she needs, all while enjoying some quality time together.

A Well-Deserved Treat

After their shopping trip, Ashleigh and Mrs. J stop off at Diggle’s for a cozy chat and a yummy hot chocolate. A little treat can go a long way in making an ordinary day feel special!.

Sharing Stories & Creating Memories
One of the most special parts of the job for our carers is reminiscing with clients about their younger years and hearing about their adventures. On the way home, Mrs. J shares incredible stories and photos from her cruising holidays—moments that bring back fond memories and spark plenty of laughter. Every visit is an opportunity to share memories, brighten someone’s day, and make a lasting impact, and that’s what makes this job so meaningful.
