Worried about slips, trips, or falls at home?

Everyday things like stairs, getting out of a chair, or using the bathroom can start to feel harder over time. The good news is that the right support can make a real difference.

At Healthcare Matters, we help people stay safer and more independent with practical advice and equipment solutions for the home.

If you’d like to talk through options for yourself or a loved one, we’re here to help. 💙

This guy is a legend. He is one of the most humble and supportive people I've ever met and does his work so humbly and with such care for his clients. Chuck him a couple of quid if you can

Great north Wales resource if you have someone who needs just that bit of support or companionship to do life admin or get out and about

There’s something really special about the little routines in life 💛

A few mornings each week, I visit a lovely lady in Conwy. We take our time, chat about everything and nothing, and head out together for breakfast or a coffee - depending on what the day feels like.

It’s not just about getting out of the house. It’s about companionship, connection, and having someone there who genuinely cares.

These visits often become the highlight of the week - not just for the people I support, but for me too.

If you or someone you love would benefit from a little extra company, a friendly face, or support to get out and about, I’d be very happy to help.

A valuable resource!

🥳 I’m delighted to share some exciting news — I have just been officially registered as a micro provider with Denbighshire County Council 🎉

To celebrate this milestone, I wanted to explain a bit more about the Support Services side of The Rowan Tree, and what being a micro provider actually means.

As well as working as a Funeral Celebrant, I offer practical and emotional support to adults living in Denbighshire and Conwy who may need a little extra help to live well, stay connected, and feel supported in their daily lives.

Through The Rowan Tree, this can include things like:

🌿 companionship and wellbeing support
🌿 help with appointments or paperwork
🌿 practical support at home
🌿 signposting to local services
🌿 gentle emotional support during difficult times
🌿 support for carers or family members

These services are always person-centred — meaning they are shaped around you, your needs, and what matters to you, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

🤔 So what is a micro provider?

A micro provider is a small, local, independent business approved by Denbighshire County Council to deliver care and support services within the community. This means:

✔️ I have been vetted and registered
✔️ I meet the Council’s standards for safety and safeguarding
✔️ I can work directly with individuals who receive funded support
✔️ I can also work privately with people who simply want extra help or companionship

Being a micro provider allows me to offer flexible, personal, and local support, rather than operating like a large care agency. Many people find this feels more friendly, consistent, and easier to arrange — which sits perfectly with the values of The Rowan Tree.

If you, or someone you care for, lives in Denbighshire or Conwy and you think The Rowan Tree might be able to help, you are very welcome to get in touch via this page, my website, or email: [email protected]

I’ll be sharing more about specific services over the coming weeks — but if you have any questions in the meantime, please just ask. 🌿
