What is it like to be a support worker with integratedliving like?
7:30 AM– Coffee in hand, I’m ready to start my shift. Just as I’m heading out, plans change— Mr. Smith cancels, and I’m quickly reassigned to Mrs. Jones’ for a Personal care & medication assistance shift. In this role, flexibility is part of what makes the day flow.
8:00 AM – I arrive at Mrs. Jones’ home and greet her warmly. I ensure the bathroom is safe, then assist her with showering and dressing. Mrs. Jones also requires support with her medication, which I provide as part of her morning routine.
8:30 AM – Mrs. Jones is feeling fresh, all dressed up, and ready to hit breakfast with her friends looking fabulous I jump back in the car, crank up my favorite playlist, and groove my way to two more personal care visits. Let’s go
11:00 AM – 1 PM – I’ve just finished all my personal care shifts and now I’m heading over to Mr. Bruno’s for a domestic assistance shift. I review his usual task list: bed making, vacuuming, mopping, ironing, cooking, and cleaning the kitchen and bathroom. I greet him with a friendly smile and ask, “Fancy a hot drink to get started?” Once we’ve had a quick chat about how he wants to get started, I’m straight into it Focused, efficient, and ready to tackle the day’s tasks.
1 PM – His home is sparkling, and his appreciative smile reminds me why I love this work. I hop back in the car on to my last client My final mission of the day taking Mr. Kent grocery shopping. He’s got a list, I’ve got the trolley, and together we’re unstoppable. We hunt for specials, swap favourite recipes, and share a few laughs (he’s got some great dad jokes).
3:30 PM – Groceries? Check. Laughs? Check. Mr. Kent is home, fridge stocked, and I help carry everything in. We say our goodbyes, and just like that, four clients are smiling—and that makes it all worth it.
I’ve added my notes to the system after each visit, the mobile apps make it easy, so it’s a clear run for me to make my way home
