A Cardiff care assistant has gained recognition for her extraordinary compassion, even learning Welsh to comfort a woman in her final days of life.
Cardiff: A care assistant named Arjanpreet Kaur, or Preet for short, has been celebrated for her incredible service. She was named ‘The Incredible of The Year’ after standing out among 5,500 care assistants across the UK. Her kindness and dedication really shone through, especially in her interactions with clients.
Preet goes above and beyond in her role, helping clients socialize and feel comfortable. One touching moment was when she learned Welsh just to communicate better with a woman who was nearing the end of her life. That’s some serious dedication!
Sharan Dhaliwal, the managing director at Caremark Cardiff, shared how thrilled they were for Preet’s win. She described Preet as a beacon of hope and compassion, highlighting the profound impact she has on her clients’ lives.
There’s even a story about how Preet’s quick thinking saved a woman’s life during a routine visit. When a client suffered a stroke, Preet recognized the signs and called for help right away. Doctors said her swift actions made a huge difference.
In another instance, Preet formed a close bond with a client in her final days. She spent extra time with the medical team to ensure everything was perfect and learned key Welsh phrases to bring comfort. The family was incredibly grateful, saying Preet’s care was beyond what they could have hoped for.
Preet also helped a dementia patient who was isolated and scared. With patience, she gained the woman’s trust and transformed her life. The daughter of this client was amazed at the change, saying they now sing and dance together, something she never thought possible.
David Glover, the CEO of Caremark, praised Preet for her numerous acts of kindness and her ability to connect deeply with her clients. It’s clear that Preet is not just a caregiver; she’s a cherished companion to those she helps.
