Today I'm absolutely delighted to welcome Ewelina Wiesner of Silverstars Care based in Sherborne, in Dorset. I work with Ewelina on the live in side of her care service and having worked with her for probably about five or six months now, I can tell you that she is hugely knowledgeable about the care sector.
Ewelina’s journey starting almost 20 years ago when she decided that she wanted to change careers. At the time she was a bookkeeper and when she came to England she was offered a job in a care home and that sparked her passion for working with people and building relationships with those that she supported and their families.
She quickly climbed the career ladder becoming a team leader and whilst we talk Ewelina talks about how different her previous career and current career are and that to start with she found her new role a bit overwhelming with everything that she had to learn. She soon learnt to love the role especially meeting all of the people she got to look after and hearing the interesting stories that they have to tell. And some of those have some amazing life stories to share!
Ewelina set up her own company, Silverstars Care, in 2017 nearly ten years after having her twins in 2014. Not wanting to split her time between shifts at the care home and being at home with her children, Ewelina decided to go on her own journey and set up her company.
We discuss why it’s important to be a care company that works for the people they look after, listening to their stories and ensuring that at all times their dignity is maintained and their wishes are respected.
