Helping introduce the idea of care to a loved one

Here at TerraBlu, we understand that introducing the idea of care to a loved one can sometimes be a daunting task, so we do all we can to make the transition as smooth as possible. By listening to the client, we are able to create a care package that is tailor-made to their wants and immediate needs. The care package can then be added to when necessary as time goes on.

 

Supporting local families

 

We help support many local families begin the journey of introducing the idea and initial steps of home care to their elderly relatives. The benefits of doing this early are key in building confidence, maintaining independence and reducing overwhelm to change in lifestyle patterns, possibly due to a health diagnosis.

 

Our care experts create a care package that is tailor-made to the client. We understand that each person has their own wants and needs. We also know how situations can change so provide a broad range of services, all of which are available to every Client. We are experts in tailoring the right Home Care package for your loved one and have helped over many clients over the past 20 Years. 

 

So, whether it’s just a visit a week to go out for a walk, daily visits to assist with personal care or medication prompts, a helping hand with light housework or meal preparation - we can cater for every need. Or, if one week a client wants assistance with shopping and the next, they don’t, that’s fine with us, too. We’re just here to help.

 

How we helped a client introduce care to his parents

 

Mr. J wanted to begin introducing care to his parents, but he first wanted them to feel at ease with the idea. Therefore, we set up a weekly one-hour video call for his parents and their support worker to chat and get to know one another. As time went on Mr J’s parents felt comfortable with the support worker and the idea of having someone new in their home. Slowing introducing the support worker meant that Mr J’s parents saw having a carer in a positive light and it gave Mr J the peace of mind he needed by knowing his parents were happy and in good hands.

 

If you think your loved one might benefit from the support of a home carer, to help with day-to-day tasks or assistance with a medical condition, please either by phone on 01892 529429 or email us on info@terrablu.co.uk   We’d be delighted to have an informal discussion and offer options that we think might be suitable.
