ANUSHA MANTRI
Service Coordinator
My name is Anusha from Hyderabad, India. In my country it is our culture to care for our elders. Despite having my MSc in IT Security, caring for one another, makes me who I am; very caring, compassionate, dedicated, patience and an effective communicator.
Working as a Service Coordinator for Stellar Care NW has enabled me to combine my IT and people skills to deliver the highest quality service delivery. I have developed my ability to multi-task; to take a person centred, holistic and collaborative approach to each client as well as their families care needs while always considering the health and well-being of our staff.
I feel deeply privileged to have the opportunity to also work as a Care Support Worker in the community as working in the community has lend an in-depth understanding to the care I provide; not only with my hands but I have learnt to care with my heart.
Because we care
At StellarCare NW LTD, we believe that a good carer is passionate about the care they provide and the needs of the people they care for. They ensure the care they are providing is person centred and in the interest of the service user and their families.
Passionate carers view working in the care industry not as a job, but as a professional vocation and will always want to learn more and build on their existing knowledge and skills. A good carer may hold qualifications in Health and Social Care as well as completing specialist and specific training for health conditions such as Dementia. The skills and qualities of a carer go above qualifications so no one is disadvantaged should they want to work as a carer.

Some of the key skills we look for are:
Empathy and patience
A good carer has empathy and the ability to put themselves in the shoes of the people they care for. The ability to do this allows good carers to fully understand the needs of their service users and tailor the care they provide around their understanding to ensure high quality, person centred support. A good carer will always be patient and will understand that it’s what you achieve that’s important, not how long it takes you to achieve it.
Positivity and encouragement
A good carer will understand the importance of positivity and how it plays a huge part in someone’s well-being. A good carer will always greet the people they care for with a smile and positive attitude. They will encourage the people they care for to do what they can and will support where needed, to ensure you are living as independently as possible.
Reliable and respectful
Good carers are dedicated to being on time and understand that being late can affect the routine of the people they care for. Good carers will often go above and beyond what is expected to ensure their service users are comfortable, safe and that all needs are met. Good carers will respect and empower your decisions and not assume you are unable to make them.
Observant and communitive
Good carers save countless lives with their observation skills. There have been many occasions whereby carers have noticed signs and symptoms, which has led to health conditions being recognised early for the ones they care for.
Good carers will be able to communicate any health concerns effectively with third parties and will always reassure you. Being easy to talk to and a good listener is extremely important in providing the best care. Good carers will encourage conversation and will enjoy listening to the stories about your life, family and friends.
Carewatch 2020
All carers are a direct employee of StellarCare NW LTD, we never use agency staff, ensuring our high standards of care are maintained at all times.
Next steps
We pride ourselves on providing an excellent home care service that goes above and beyond, to make sure our customers are cared for just as the customer expects. The nurse led element to domiciliary care is growing in demand due to the complex needs of people living in the community.
Recent research suggests that people would rather live at home with support than go into a nursing home. StellarCare NW LTD bridges the gap between social and healthcare providing a holistic package of care that other providers do not offer.
