Home Instead Stourbridge, Hagley & Halesowen

Now more than ever, our clients appreciate the kindness, support, and reassurance that our CAREGivers provide.
From assistance running errands, medication reminders to support exercising at home, our CAREGivers can enable your loved ones to continue living connected and independent lives in the comfort of home.

Sometimes a sudden change can happen in life when we least expect it.
For Carole, a change in career was what she was looking for after years in a corporate role. As a CAREGiver, Carole uses her caring nature and people skills to bring joy to clients every day. "It's not like a job for me. It feels like family."
If you're considering a new career, whether it's due to a change in circumstance or you're simply looking for an additional income, then we'd love to chat with you!...

We want to take a moment to remind everyone to talk with their parents about scams! The elderly are always prime targets for phone and online scams, but with the Coronavirus situation, it's worth being extra vigilant.
Especially if the government announces income assistance programmes for the elderly, you and the family should be wary of phishing and phone scams.
See our website for useful resources on how to discuss scams with your loved ones and how to protect them online ...and in their home.

During these difficult times, our clients can count on CAREGivers to bring reassurance, support, and kindness.
Thank you, CAREGivers and office staff, for all you are doing to support our clients over the coming weeks.

We love this offer from Crystal Flowers. With Mother's Day family gatherings being cancelled due to Coronavirus, what a lovely way to show our seniors that we care.

“Give older people a chance to talk. Find out what they care about, and what’s important to them.”

A surprise visit from owner Lorna to our photo comp winner. Our lovely client Phyllis was very happy with her hamper.

We're one big family caring for families 😊

Amid viral outbreaks... The best preventative measure to take against coronavirus is hand washing. Make sure to be thorough in lathering and scrubbing soap! 🧼You should also be scrubbing your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds.

Earlier this week, we shared 5 practical tips for communicating with someone living with dementia.
Today, we're sharing ways to help better understand what they are saying when you're in a conversation.
1) Don’t take each word too literally; try to get the gist of what the person is trying to... tell you.
2) Observe and listen carefully. Look for any underlying meaning/message.
3) Avoid interrupting or correcting the person if what he/she is saying is not strictly accurate. The main goal should be on creating a positive and enjoyable experience and this means you may need to adapt to their reality.
4) Remain patient and do not rush the person.
5) Respond to the feelings/emotion behind the message and reinforce with positive and reassuring non-verbal communication, e.g. if the person seems anxious, try to show you are concerned.

Today we'd like to share 5 practical tips when communicating with someone living with dementia:
1) Face the person so that he/she can see you clearly; move closer if necessary and maintain eye contact.
2) Pause briefly between phrases to give the person time to absorb information and respond.
... 3) Speak clearly and calmly.
4) Simplify questions, preferably requiring only yes/no answers.
5) Try not to contradict or argue with the person. The goal is to make this a positive experience for you and them!
In our next post, we'll be sharing ways to help you understand what a person with dementia is saying.
From your own experience, what suggestions would you like to add?
