About Shaheen A.

Hello, I'm Shaheen, and I bring a wealth of experience and compassion to my role as a carer, with a special focus on supporting individuals living with dementia, stroke, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and end-of-life care. My goal is to help clients maintain their independence and dignity while remaining in the comfort of their own homes. With extensive experience using medical equipment like hoists and electric wheelchairs, I ensure that my clients feel comfortable and well-cared for at all times. I'm skilled in personal care, medication administration, and am always ready to provide emotional support when it's needed most. I am flexible, reliable, and eager to continuously improve my skills, always seeking ways to enhance the quality of care I provide. Whether it's taking clients out to social clubs, enjoying a peaceful walk, or creating a warm atmosphere at home with music and reading, I tailor my approach to suit each individual's preferences. For those who prefer to stay indoors, I love introducing activities that are both engaging and comforting. I treat every person with the respect, dignity, and equality they deserve, always placing the client at the center of my care. Working in partnership with families, other professionals, and care teams, I ensure that my clients receive person-centered care that meets their unique needs. I am available for live-in placements and am flexible to travel nationwide. With strong communication skills, trustworthiness, and a passion for making a difference, I am committed to providing the highest level of care to each and every client.

“From the moment Shaheen arrived to look after our parents, she has provided attentive and caring support. She is always keen to improve our parents' standard of living and goes above and beyond by carrying out errands such as collecting prescriptions from the local chemist. Additionally, she takes our parents to their medical appointments, which is incredibly helpful. Shaheen works diligently to understand our parents' needs for care while also respecting the 'space' they sometimes require.”

“Shaheen has been absolutely superb! 10 out of 10! We could not have wished for a better carer to be with my wife in the last stages of her life. She was the most kind, caring and empathetic person with excellent knowledge and professionalism. We would highly recommend her.”
