One of the hardest parts of arranging support at home for a parent or loved one is not always finding the right person. It’s having the conversation in the first place.

Many families put it off for months. Bringing it up can feel like crossing a line, or suggesting things are worse than they are.

We have put together a guide on how to approach it, what tends to help, and how to make sure your parent stays in control of every decision. 💙

When Martin came home from hospital, he needed someone with him full time. He was living with MS and diabetes, and life at home had become difficult to manage alone.

Through ilarna, he found Princess, his ilarna Personal Assistant. She moved in on his first day back. She learned his routines, noticed what he needed before he asked, helped him get back into his garden, back to church, back to himself.

His family say they can see the difference in him.💜

Princess has become like a sister to Martin. They look out for each other.

If you are thinking about support at home for yourself or someone you love, we hope his story gives you a sense of what is possible.

When families start exploring support at home, one question comes up very quickly:

How much presence feels right?

For some people, a few hours of help each week is enough to keep daily life running smoothly.

For others, having someone based in the home can bring more reassurance and continuity.

Both arrangements can work really well. It depends on routines, preferences, and how much support feels comfortable.

Our article “Hourly vs. live-in support: which is right for you?” explains the differences between the two and can help you get a clearer sense of what might suit your home and routines best.
