About Rita Akosua T.

I am a motivated and resilient caregiver who is passionate about supporting clients in achieving their goals. With extensive experience in the field, I am known for my reliability and gentle nature, along with my patience, understanding, and empathy. I adhere to organizational policies and procedures to provide high-quality care. I have a proven track record of building strong relationships through personalized, client-centered support. My excellent communication and interpersonal skills allow me to connect effectively with clients and their families. As a team player, I thrive in fast-paced environments, managing multiple workloads and meeting deadlines. I am experienced in providing care for individuals with various conditions, including ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, anxiety, Asperger's syndrome, autism, COPD, cancer, cerebral palsy, deafness, depression, eating disorders, epilepsy, insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes, learning disabilities, mild cognitive impairment, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, non-insulin-dependent (Type 2) diabetes, orthopedic injuries, osteoporosis, Parkinson’s disease, physical disabilities, rheumatoid arthritis, schizophrenia, spinal injuries, stroke, terminal illnesses, traumatic brain injury, vascular dementia, and visual impairment. As a driver, I can easily travel to provide care, and I am fluent in English, Italian, and several African languages.

“Hi Hometouch What can I say but a huge thank you. Rita is just so professional, capable and lovely - dad is very happy (and very lucky). Rita walked into our somewhat bonkers situation and has quietly sorted things out and there is now a relaxed and totally organised life for Dad. She is a credit to your agency. Regards”
