One question I’d ask if I were arranging live-in care for someone in my family is: what happens when the carer has time off?

When you’ve got used to someone in your home, it can take a while to feel comfortable with another person. And there’s a world of difference between someone knowing where you keep the mugs and knowing that you’d rather be left to read the paper before you start talking about the day.

I’d want to know who would be coming, whether we could meet them beforehand and how they’d get to know the way things work at home.

If you’re looking into live-in care, ask us how changeovers would work for you. It’s a good conversation to have before you decide.

If you already work in care, you’ll probably have some fairly specific questions for a prospective employer.

How is travel planned? Who answers when you need support? Can you raise a concern and expect someone to listen?

I welcome those questions. They tell us what matters to you, and they give us a chance to explain how we work honestly.

We’ve been working on our own staff offer, including mileage, breakdown cover and support for training. We’re also continuing to work on the rota and the things colleagues tell us would improve their working week.

There’s still work to do. I want people joining us to feel comfortable asking about it, and people already here to keep telling us where we need to pay attention.

If you’re an experienced care professional considering a move, we’d be pleased to hear from you.

What would you want to ask us first?

Wishing a very happy Diwali to everyone celebrating. 🪔✨

A time for light, family, friendship and community, and for sharing meaningful moments with the people who matter most.

Warm wishes from everyone at Radfield Home Care.

Today, we remember those who served and sacrificed. ❤️

Remembrance can also be a chance to sit together, share stories, look through old photographs and keep important memories alive across generations.

We will remember them.

At this time of year, plans can quietly disappear from the week.

It’s raining, it will be dark coming home, and the visit to a friend can wait until another day. Before long, you realise you haven’t seen them for a fortnight.

When we’re planning live-in care, I think it’s worth talking about this. Someone may be managing comfortably indoors but missing the people they usually see.

A live-in carer may be able to help them get ready, accompany them on an outing or help prepare lunch when a friend comes round, depending on the support agreed.

As November gets under way, we’d want to know who you’d like to see and what would make that easier.

If getting out is becoming difficult for you or someone in your family, we can talk through whether live-in care might be a suitable option.

Independence does not have to mean doing everything alone.

Sometimes it is having someone alongside you for a walk, a shared hobby, a trip out or simply a good conversation. Companionship Care is built around the individual, helping people stay connected to the routines, interests and community that make life their own.

Changing jobs takes some thought, especially if you’re considering work you haven’t done before.

You might be interested in care but wonder whether you’d know what to do. You might also have questions about the hours, travelling between visits and how work would fit around home.

I’d much rather we talked about those things at the beginning.

Care is skilled work. There’s training to complete and plenty to learn, including how to notice when someone seems different, explain what you’re doing and help without taking over.

You bring your own experience too. Being patient when someone needs more time, listening carefully and being willing to ask for help all matter.

If you’re considering joining our care team in York and the surrounding villages, send us a message. Tell us what interests you and what you’d need to know before applying.

Bonfire Night can still be full of sparkle with a little extra planning. ✨

- Keep pathways well lit
- Choose a safe and comfortable place to enjoy the display
- Be mindful of how noise or unfamiliar activity may affect someone

The right support can help everyone enjoy the occasion with a little more confidence and a little less worry.

When you start thinking about care, there can be quite a list of things to sort out. It’s easy for the conversation to become entirely about what someone needs help with.

I’d like us to ask what they want to carry on doing, too.

Perhaps you enjoy cooking but find standing at the kitchen counter tiring. You might still want friends round for lunch, even though preparing everything has become harder.

Those are useful things to talk about when considering live-in care. A carer lives in your home and provides agreed support, which can include helping you continue doing things you enjoy.

We’d also need to talk about sharing your space, having time to yourself and arrangements for the carer’s breaks. It’s a decision that deserves a proper conversation.

If you’re exploring live-in care, what would you want someone to understand about your life at home?
