Lovely post by one of our Caregivers "Love my job working with Home Instead Mid Cornwall. Best company I’ve ever worked for, they actually care about their employees as much as their customers . The job itself is so rewarding making a difference to people’s lives helping them live at home as long as possible, so many interesting stories of they’re lives lots of banter and sometimes tears. I find it a privilege to be part of they’re lives and any little thing I do to make them smile means the world."
