Welcome to Care Well Solutions! 🙂

January 2023 - a New Year and a new and exciting venture for me! Hello, I’m Amanda May.

It is my hope that my help and care make a difference to YOU to support your quality of life and independence.

With well over a decade of care and 👩‍⚕️nursing experience, both here and overseas, as the saying goes, “if it’s going to be, it’s up to me.” And, I want to make a difference!

In addition to my nursing experiences, I have also been a hands-on carer for some of my own family members.

I’ve witnessed the difference good care and support can make. I’ve experienced the kindness of genuine empathy and care - it’s huge!

🌼So, whether it’s help you need with personal care, some support in and around the home for you, your loved one (including your four-legged ones,) or simply some companionship or respite, let’s catch up and discover how we can make a difference to you.

For more detail or to book your free consultation, please call, message or email me.

I look forward to helping you live better.

As a Carer you'll watch me do things and instantly judge me for them, you'll look down your nose and see me as nothing more than someone that deals with other people's body fluids and makes cups of tea.
You'll wonder why I can walk out of a room and instantly into another, forgetting that I may have promised your relative a blanket or a cup of water because I was "distracted" by someone else.
You'll wonder why I've walked past your relatives room and not entered theirs, you'll wonder why some people are attended to sooner and you'll curse my name under your breath as they wait.
You'll wonder how I seem to have time to sit down and write and wonder why I cannot fix things immediately.
You'll wonder how, under any circumstance, I could be sharing a smile or a laugh with a co-worker as if laughter has no place.
As I walk in for my shift, you'll look at me, your eyes saying that you want me to help and you'll wonder why I can't just make that happen.
But here's what, if you're very lucky, you'll never see.
You'll never see me lose. You'll never see me take off my sweaty gloves and say a goodbye to someone I've cared for for months or even years
You'll never see the weight that we carry home. For minutes or hours, days, or weeks, or even lifetimes.
You'll never see our children's faces as we kiss them goodbye on Christmas morning so that we can make it a special day for your family member.
You'll never see the deep breath we take as we walk into a room to prepare a loved one before family enter to say their last goodbye.
You'll never see our hearts ache with the pain for those we have nursed and passed and those that continue to battle.
You'll never see our minds as they tirelessly overthink and overwork scenarios, wondering how or if we could do something better next time.
You'll never see us break the news that someone's husband or wife, that they have been married to for 50 plus years has died because they have forgotten again, you'll never see us comfort them as they cry.
And for the most part, I'm okay that you can't see those things. It's my job to do, my burden to carry, and my labour of love and service so that you don't have to so that the relationship you have remains as it always has been so that you don't have to become their Carer. I'll take on that role for you.
However, I'll be honest, there are times that I wish you could understand the alternative to your relative that's waiting. There are times I wish you understood the difference between urgency and emergency. And there are certainly times that I wish I could be transparent enough to tell you when your relative dies it breaks our hearts too.
If you know or love a Carer please do me a favour and just give them a hug. Or maybe a fist bump if hugging isn't their thing, or maybe even just a nod of approval but more anything please remember we're more than just bottom cleaners and tea makers.
We're working as hard and as fast as we can, and most days, it's never enough."
Copy and share if you know, love or appreciate people that are 'just' carers.
