Melissa’s Doctor suggests: all carers have the flu injection, you need to be trained in CPR,

Please ensure youyou know how to use the pager,  no perfume can be worn, please ensure you

Do not smell of cigarette smoke.  SHOES OFF in lounge to keep the carpet as clean as possible

Read the BOOK ON ARRIVAL from the day you were here last and please fill it in before leaving.

This is written to ensure Melissa’s safety. In spite of this we had a time when whilst showering Melissa started to gag and we discovered that the steam had released the tobacco smell in the carer’s clothes.

The above are precautions to ensure Melissa’s survival.  Prevention is the key.  Also it is important to document your time with her as more people are working with her.
