💙 Looking after an older parent while trying to keep up with everything else?

For many families, caring starts with small things. A weekly shop, a lift to an appointment, help around the house. Before long, those small jobs can become a big part of your routine.

And while supporting a parent can be something you’re happy to do, it can also leave very little time for yourself.

Our latest blog looks at how families in Southampton can support an older parent without putting their own wellbeing to one side.

We cover some of the signs that you may need extra support, why you don't have to manage everything alone, and how even a few hours of homecare each week can give family carers some much-needed breathing space.

If this sounds familiar, have a read. You might find a few ideas that could make things a little easier.

Caring for an older parent can be rewarding but challenging. Find practical ways to support your loved one while making time for your own wellbeing.

“I don’t need a carer.”

It’s something many families hear when they first try to talk to a parent about homecare.

But what’s behind that answer? It could be a fear of losing independence, concerns about having someone new in the home, or simply not being ready for a change.

Our latest blog looks at some of the common reasons older people may say no to homecare, and how families can approach the conversation without making their loved one feel pressured.

We cover practical ways to start the conversation, why companionship can be a gentle first step, and when it may be time to look for additional support.

Is your parent refusing home care? Learn why older people may be reluctant to accept help and how families can approach the conversation with patience and understanding.

Ali & Paula's Tea Room ☕️🫖

A wonderful summer afternoon spent, with fresh fruit, scones and sandwiches. Thanks to our wonderful live music act for the giggles and trip down memory lane, including a tribute to Dolly Parton 🎀

Thanks to all the carers who volunteered their time, and of course to all the clients who came along 🥰

💙 Building Connections

Good relationships matter in care. When people feel comfortable with the team supporting them, it can make a real difference to their experience.

This photo from our Green Picnic shows two members of our team enjoying some time together, but the same spirit of connection is something we bring to the people we support every day.

We take time to get to know each person, understand what matters to them and build trust through regular care and companionship.

💙 A lovely review from a family we were able to support at short notice.

Arranging care for a loved one at the last minute can be stressful, so we're pleased to know our team was able to put this family at ease and provide consistent support for their mum.

It's especially lovely to hear that the same Care Assistants were able to visit each day, helping build a good relationship in a short time.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recommending Right at Home Solent. We really appreciate it. 💙
