Every care provider is unique, we all have our own positives and negatives as we all have a different “Frame of reference”.
That just means we all see things differently as our previous experience shapes how we view the world and problem solve in our own unique way.
At Sunday Care Therapy our “Uniqueness” is, we are founded by Occupational Therapists, with over 30 years experience in Health and Social Care.
Particular pertaining to the delivery of “Smart and Effective” home care.
When we first started the company we had a belief that “Live-in” care wasn’t really effective, but over the years we have grown to not only appreciate the value of live-in care. But see the true potential it has!
Having a live-in carer can offer numerous benefits compared to moving into a care home. As individuals age or face health challenges, they often require assistance with daily activities and personal care. While care homes have traditionally been a popular choice, live-in carers provide a more personalised and flexible approach to care. One major advantage of having a live-in carer is the ability to remain in the comfort and familiarity of one’s own home. Home is a place filled with cherished memories, personal belongings, and a sense of security.
By staying in your home, you can maintain your independence with a sense of autonomy. You are surrounded by familiar items that have memories attached to them and can continue to engage in activities you enjoy, maintaining a higher quality of life and freedom!
Unlike care homes where staff members have to divide their attention among multiple residents, a live-in carer is dedicated solely to one individual, YOU!. This one-on-one care allows for a deep understanding of the individual needs, preferences, and routines. At Sunday Care Therapy we can customise support and adapt to the specific requirements of you! Not just be a room number.
This personalised approach ensures that you or your loved one, receives the highest level of care, promoting well-being and happiness.
Furthermore, our highly skilled live-in carers offer companionship and emotional support.
Ageing or facing health challenges can often lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. With a Sunday Care Therapy live-in carer, you have a constant companion who can provide emotional support, engage in meaningful conversations, and participate in activities together. This companionship not only improves mental well-being but also helps combat feelings of loneliness and depression. Having a live-in carer also allows you to maintain your connections with family and friends.
So how did Sunday Care Therapy go from not really understanding or appreciating live-in care to being a strong advocate for live-in care?
Well we got approached by the local authority asking if we could help!
The options were, a person in their 40ies who was at the time in a nursing home, to stay there for the rest of their life or with our unique approach and support enabling them to move home.
Obviously their choice was to go home, but the care required would be extremely complex.
Never to shy away from a challenge we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.
It took a lot of meetings and a lot of problem solving but we got there in the end and I am happy to say one year on, not only are they home, safe and happy but their quality of life has improved dramatically!
And that is how Sunday Care Therapy has become big fans of Live-in care as not only a viable solution to placement, but… may even be a better one… for some people.
