WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Ms. R Miller, Basildon- Essex
When my M.S (Multiple Sclerosis) was progressing, my care package funded by my local council and NHS, was increased to 24hr care. Realising that I did not want to go to a residential care home, I requested for 24 hour live in care. Because I still wanted to be able to make my own choices and have the freedom to do what I could in my own environment, I requested a live-in carer who would be there for me as when I needed them and stay with me in my home. CARE FROM HOME included me in the interviewing process of my 2 carers who alternate their working weeks. They have become more than just my carers; they have become a trusted part of my household. We have recently taken a holiday to Bridlington and it went very well.

My husband Jim was diagnosed with dementia a few years back. His memory began to deteriorate to the point where at times he would forget who I was, what he needed to be doing and even who he was. I did not want to put him in a nursing home. Realising that I could not do it all on my own, I rang CARE FROM HOME who supplied me with two wonderful carers who helped me with Jim's care. They started to compile a list of Jim's previous interests. Having told them that Jim used to play the piano, they included piano playing sessions in their time with him. During those times, he brightened up and was a new man. When I have some time out, it gives me peace of mind to know that Jim is with someone who understands him and will look after him. I could not have managed without them. Thank you.

When my husband Tim decided to spend his last days at home, rather than at the hospital or hospice, (He was suffering from terminal prostate cancer), CARE FROM HOME acted promptly in providing me with the support that I needed. The carers were waiting at home when Tim arrived from hospital and they immediately did all they would to make him more comfortable. They handled him gently and with empathy. The care team worked closely with the District Nurses and the GP who were coming in and out to see Tim and keep his pain under control. Their presence allowed me to continue being Tim’s wife and not just his carer. When he did pass on, they were there to support me. I couldn’t have gone through that difficult time alone. Thank you.
Mr. J Johnson, Bessacarr
Having spent a long period of time in hospital while I had my knees replaced, I knew I would not be able to do many of the things that I could do before I went into hospital. I would need help with my shopping, cooking, cleaning and driving for my doctor’s appointments. CARE FROM HOME send me a carer to assist me with the shopping, driving. It made my life so much easier and as I got better and able to do more things for myself, I reduced the amount of care hours that I was receiving. Their qualified nurses were able to come out to me to change my dressings and monitor the wound, which they did with such care. Many thanks.

I did not want to put him in a nursing home. Realising that I could not do it all on my own, I rang CARE FROM HOME who supplied me with two wonderful carers who took over Jim’s care when I was having some time out. It gave me peace of mind to know that Jim would not wander out of the house unattended. Surely, I could not have managed without them.

When my M.S (Multiple Sclerosis) was progressing, my care package was also increased to 24hr care. Realising that I did not want to go to a residential care home, I requested for 24 hour live in care. Because I still wanted to practice my own choice and freedom in my own environment, I requested a live-in carer who would be there for me as when I needed them and stay within the environment of my own choice, which is my home. Review meetings are held regularly and I feel that I am in charge of my own care.
