From NHS Physiotherapist to Franchise Partner

After 20 years in the NHS specialising in Dementia and Parkinson’s care – Shweta Mahadik launched her new homecare business in Wokingham and Bracknell in early 2022.

Shweta had been an NHS specialist in elderly care for 20 years, specifically Parkinson’s and Dementia care, and now she’s putting her experience to good use and is running her own care business to help the local community.

“I was a physiotherapist working with the NHS for 20 years in elderly care mainly. That gives you a real appreciation for the care sector and the importance of good quality tailored care.”

Working as a specialist in Parkinson’s and Dementia care Shweta said one of the most important things that she wanted to achieve was to help families understand the changes their loved one would be experiencing.

“It’s important to educate people to ensure they understand the importance of good care and to ensure their care is tailored to them. With my background, especially in fall prevention and elderly care, I think it gives me a unique skill set. It is something I am really able to use to help our clients. When I do their care assessment I can look at these things and think about the additional help or support they will need day to day. It’s a very rewarding job to be able to help people.”
