As part of the service, Home Instead Sutton Coldfield is now able to offer short and long-term live-in care packages to support people in their own home, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, tailored to individual needs.
Aman Gill, owner of Home Instead Sutton Coldfield, said: “The benefits of live-in care are extensive, it’s an option that provides the comfort of living in familiar surroundings amongst a local community, removing the stress of selling a family home or parting with much-loved pets.
“Live-in care also provides a great deal of peace of mind to the care recipient and their family, knowing they are receiving quality one-to-one personal care and unrivalled attention.
“Overall, it’s eliminating a lot of stress, vulnerability, loneliness and insecurity, so I’m really proud that it’s now a service we are able to offer as I know it will benefit so many people.”
This is the latest service provided by the local home care company, who already provide personal care such as help with dressing and bathing, home help, companionship, dementia care and respite care as well as weekly memory cafes.
Hosting three memory cafes every week, Home Instead provides local families with the chance to attend with their older loved ones, receive advice, and socialise with people facing similar challenges.
Aman says: “Amongst the laughter at our memory cafes is a sense of relief that you’re not alone.
“Whatever challenges dementia presents, there are others who have experienced the same struggles, and our cafes are a chance for people to share advice on getting through it.”
Home Instead Sutton Coldfield hosts three memory cafes a week:
• Monday at Erdington Methodist Church, Wesley Road (off Station Road) B23 6TX, 10am - 1pm
• Tuesday at All Saints Church Centre, Belwell Lane, Four Oaks, B74 4TR, 10am – 1pm
