Hales Heroes Katie and Amy arrived at their service user’s property to carry out a care call and were met with an emergency.
The care workers found the service user’s wife giving CPR to her unresponsive husband, and immediately took control of the situation.
Katie administered CPR to the service user and successfully managed to restart his heart by the time the paramedics arrived.
Katie commented, “I just remembered my training and didn’t think twice being put in that situation. I knew I had to help.”
Both care workers were highly commended by the emergency services and the family.
Hales Homecare South Tyneside Branch Manager Nicole Page commented: “We are very proud of Katie and Amy, their fast and professional response helped save a life. Well done to both carers!”
