Our Client’s Story…
Amelia chose Cavendish Homecare to help her manage life’s changes while keeping her active routine. After her eye surgeries her vision improved, but she still struggled with limited side vision. Besides her eyesight, Amelia managed several ongoing health concerns, including an increase in falls, a hernia and arthritis. Additionally, she experienced occasional eye inflammation, which she managed with eye drops, and had recently started using a CPAP machine at night for severe sleep apnoea.
Despite living with several health concerns, Amelia remained committed to her community work, from church activities and homeless projects to playing the piano.
The Cavendish Approach…
Cavendish Homecare swiftly created a personalised care plan for Amelia, seamlessly integrating into her independent life while providing crucial support. A dedicated carer offered consistent help with a flexible schedule. This included accompanying Amelia on outings. The Cavendish Homecare team provided crucial assistance with daily household tasks, from cleaning and organising to meal preparation and shopping. This practical help ensured Amelia’s home remained a clean, calm haven, freeing her to focus on her passions. Crucially, the staff provided attentive mobility supervision and physical assistance, particularly outdoors, which significantly reduced her high risk of falls.
The team supported her transition to using taxi services when she decided driving and cycling were no longer the safest options for her. The support enabled Amelia to maintain her vibrant social life, attending appointments with staff and continuing weekend trips with friends. Her care plan was continuously reviewed and adjusted for evolving needs. Throughout her care, open communication was paramount; Amelia clearly expressed preferences, and the carer consistently sought permission and followed instructions, respecting her independence.
