Adam is one of our Senior Care Assistants. Adam works in care because he believes that everybody deserves to live a happy and dignified life in the way they see fit even if they need help to achieve it. “Regarding my work, I am passionate about person-centred care which I believe is the most important segment of our numerous duties. If the passionate section is more about my personal life, I am most passionate about educating people in my own way about the importance of history and human nature through the lens of history.
As a hobby I do like a good long drive, it enables me to think clearly. I also like to lose myself in fantasy or sci-fi worlds while reading or watching movies”.
