About Akosua D.

I have extensive experience working in the health sector, providing care in the community, live-in settings, and supporting elderly clients as well as individuals with learning disabilities. I am proficient in using various equipment such as ceiling and standing hoists, wheelchairs, slide sheets, banana slides, and patient turners, ensuring safe and efficient mobility support. My responsibilities have included personal care, medication administration, shopping, cooking, cleaning, companionship, and social engagement. I am qualified in areas such as medication management, health and safety, manual handling, hoisting, and infection control, bringing a well-rounded skill set to my role. As a compassionate and dedicated Live-in Support Worker and Healthcare Assistant, I take pride in providing personalized care to individuals of all ages, helping them meet their everyday needs while respecting their independence and dignity. I am confident in monitoring and recording vital signs in line with professional guidelines and always maintain patient confidentiality. I strive to offer emotional support and empathy alongside practical care, creating a positive and trusting environment for those I support. A proactive team player with a willingness to learn, I am committed to continuously improving my skills to provide the highest standard of care.

“Akosua is excellent. She has come to understand my father really well and supports him whilst still giving him space to himself. His health is improved due to better diet and routines and although he has been through a difficult set of changes, he is adapting to having a carer, as a result of Akosua’s hard work.”
