What really happens behind the doors of domiciliary care? After seven years working on the frontline, the author has learned that care rarely goes to plan. Care plans look neat on a screen, rotas are carefully timed, and calls are often described as “easy” but reality is far messier, louder, and funnier than the paperwork suggests. From missing information and unexpected situations to smells that change you as a person and cups of tea that are never quite finished, Care Plans, Chaos & Cold Tea offers an honest, humorous look at life as a care worker.
