I’m thankful for my cell phone, and I’m sure you are thankful for yours. It keeps me updated on all of my work tasks and it ensures that my kiddo can reach me if he needs me. Cell phones also allow Easy Living care partners to access our caregiver app, document and even clock in and out.
However, cell phones can also be a distraction during your shift with a client. At Easy Living, we expect you to utilize your cell phones during your shift only when you are clocking in/out, communicating with our office, or documenting.
You should not have your cell phone out during your shift otherwise. Don’t make personal calls. Don’t scroll social media. Don’t play online games.
Use your time to care for the client, perform your tasks, and have engaging conversations with your client.
Put the cell phone down.
