1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,702
I'm Jennifer and I work
2
00:00:01,702 --> 00:00:03,014
for HomeInstead Senior Care,
3
00:00:03,014 --> 00:00:04,438
they're based in Cardiff.
4
00:00:07,588 --> 00:00:08,693
It's just great.
5
00:00:08,693 --> 00:00:10,191
Every day is different.
6
00:00:10,191 --> 00:00:11,940
It's just not monotonous at all.
7
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:13,397
It's not the same thing every day,
8
00:00:13,397 --> 00:00:16,088
every call, all clients' needs are different.
9
00:00:16,098 --> 00:00:19,177
It ranges from just helping up in the morning,
10
00:00:19,177 --> 00:00:20,433
preparing meals,
11
00:00:20,433 --> 00:00:22,911
administering medication for those who need it.
12
00:00:22,911 --> 00:00:25,516
Also, we've got the challenges that come along
13
00:00:25,516 --> 00:00:27,560
with the dementia and Alzheimer's.
14
00:00:27,592 --> 00:00:30,072
I do have a few clients that speak Welsh.
15
00:00:31,632 --> 00:00:34,371
Margaret was brought up Speaking Welsh.
16
00:00:34,371 --> 00:00:35,927
It's her first language
17
00:00:36,238 --> 00:00:37,734
and she definitely feels at ease
18
00:00:37,734 --> 00:00:39,424
with me speaking Welsh.
19
00:00:39,424 --> 00:00:42,452
With Margaret's condition, me speaking well to her
20
00:00:42,452 --> 00:00:45,524
relates to her childhood and her memories
21
00:00:45,524 --> 00:00:47,882
so it brings memories back for her
22
00:00:47,882 --> 00:00:50,030
that we can chat about in Welsh.
23
00:00:50,057 --> 00:00:52,567
... then Mega, Judith's daughter.
24
00:00:52,567 --> 00:00:56,267
Mum has a great relationshipwith Jen
25
00:00:56,267 --> 00:01:02,101
and other carers which is great.
26
00:01:02,101 --> 00:01:04,005
You don't like the hair, do you?
27
00:01:04,005 --> 00:01:04,957
No!
28
00:01:04,957 --> 00:01:08,485
Welsh is important to us as a family.
29
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:12,000
It's my mum's first language and mine.
30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,446
She can overcome her problems
31
00:01:15,446 --> 00:01:21,160
through speaking Welsh with carers like Jen.
32
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,585
I would definitely recommend
33
00:01:22,585 --> 00:01:25,005
going into the care industry.
34
00:01:25,005 --> 00:01:28,058
I did a career change after 17 years
35
00:01:28,058 --> 00:01:31,313
and I wish I had done it now
from a lot, lot younger.
36
00:01:39,023 --> 00:01:41,478
Anyone else play here?
