It’s important to spend some quality time with your patient over Christmas as you want to avoid them feeling lonely. They could feel low due to several different personal reasons, but as their carer, they can confide and find trust in you to help them through any tough times. There are plenty of different films and TV specials for you and your patient to enjoy over the Christmas season.

There are Christmas classics to enjoy through the next few weeks such as Raymond Briggs’ The Snowman (Channel 4) and also Call The Midwife (BBC).

Over on ITV, we are going to be spoiled for choice! From Christmas classics like Love Actually to the last ever Doc Martin which will also be a Christmas Special.

As Homecare workers, it is important to remember to look after yourself. We understand that being a care worker can become overwhelming and tiring. Recognising you are burning out is vital in order for you to continue looking after your patient safely and professionally. We have written a previous article about how to take care of yourself and avoid carer burnout.
