Yes, Working in a care home develops your confidence and holistic skills to ensure residents and relatives are happy.

I’m not only looking after our residents but I also need to support the families too as they’re adjusting to their loved one being in a home. Also, many of our residents find it difficult to verbalise their needs, which means I need to advocate for them when speaking to the family and health services.

As a nurse in a care home, you have to understand them, their family and their beliefs to give them a rounded package of care, meaning you are developing more than just your clinical skills.
