Enjoy a Happier, Healthier Summer with Arbour Care’s Live-In Services

  26th May, 2024

Summer is a wonderful time of year, filled with warmth, sunshine, and opportunities for outdoor activities. However, for many elderly individuals, enjoying the summer months can be challenging without the right support. At Arbour Care, we believe that everyone deserves to have a happy and healthy summer, and our live-in care services are designed to help elderly individuals do just that.

The Benefits of Live-In Care Services

Live-in care provides elderly individuals with the support they need to maintain their independence and enjoy a higher quality of life. Here are some of the key benefits of our live-in care services:

Personalised Care: Our live-in carers offer personalised care tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each individual. This includes assistance with daily activities, medication management, and support with mobility, ensuring that your loved one can enjoy their summer safely and comfortably.

Companionship: One of the most significant benefits of live-in care is the companionship it provides. Our carers not only assist with physical needs but also offer emotional support and companionship, helping to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Enhanced Safety: Summer can present specific safety challenges for the elderly, such as dehydration and heatstroke. Our live-in carers are trained to monitor for these risks and ensure that your loved one stays safe and healthy throughout the warmer months.

Encouragement of Outdoor Activities: With the support of a live-in carer, elderly individuals can take advantage of the beautiful summer weather. Whether it’s a gentle walk in the park, gardening, or simply sitting outside to enjoy the sunshine, our carers encourage and facilitate outdoor activities that promote physical and mental well-being.

How Live-In Care Enhances Summer Enjoyment

Promoting Physical Activity: Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining health and well-being, especially for the elderly. Our live-in carers encourage and assist with activities that are suitable for your loved one’s abilities, helping them stay active and engaged.

Healthy Eating: A balanced diet is crucial, particularly in the summer when dehydration and heat can be concerns. Our carers assist with meal planning and preparation, ensuring that your loved one enjoys nutritious meals and stays hydrated.

Social Engagement: Summer is a great time for socialising, whether it’s visiting with family and friends or participating in community events. Our live-in carers help facilitate these social interactions, providing transportation and support to ensure your loved one can engage in social activities.

Managing Health Conditions: Many elderly individuals have chronic health conditions that require careful management. Our live-in carers are skilled in monitoring these conditions and ensuring that medications are taken as prescribed, appointments are kept, and any health concerns are promptly addressed.

A Real-Life Example: Mrs. Thompson’s Summer Transformation

Mrs. Thompson, an 82-year-old client, experienced a remarkable transformation after starting live-in care with Arbour Care. Previously, she spent her days indoors, feeling lonely and disconnected. With the support of her live-in carer, she began to venture outside daily, enjoying her garden and attending local events. Her physical health improved with regular walks, and she felt happier and more connected to her community. This positive change highlights how live-in care can significantly enhance the quality of life for elderly individuals.

  • "We used Arbour Care to provide care for our parents while we were on holiday. Our parents were originally reluctant to have someone living in their home but eventually agreed that it was the best option. The care they received was so good, the carer cooked delicious meals (I need some recipe ideas!) she was company for Dad and made it possible for us to enjoy our holiday knowing there was someone available if anything was to happen. We would have no hesitation in recommending Arbour Care to anyone looking for care providers."

  • "Arbour provided live-in carers for my wife for six years from 2017-2023 including the pandemic. My main impression is of a very professional organisation in which owners and staff worked all the time to provide the support the client needed at as high a standard as possible. They gave equal attention to statutory requirements, care plans and staff training and never cut any corners."

  • "The support that we have had from Arbour Care has been, quite literally, lifesaving. They found an amazing carer to look after my elderly and disabled husband, who is very experienced, kind and thoughtful. She has made an enormous positive difference to the quality of our lives and I will always be grateful to her and cannot thank her enough."
