When the House Gets Quieter 💞

When your home has been filled for 18+ years with noise, laughter, tears, untidiness! and being needed every single day, it’s a huge change when your babies are grown, independent and no longer need you in the same way. The house gets quieter, routines shift, and that sense of purpose can feel like it’s missing, leaving you wondering where all the years went and what your place is now they no longer need you every day.

But that instinct to care and nurture doesn’t go anywhere. For some, that need to keep looking after others remains so strong and finding a way to use it again can bring such comfort.

You may not have worked in care before, but you don’t need to have care home experience to consider a role at Heanton, the attributes you need are already within you, built through years of caring. You already have the instinct to care, the compassion, the patience, the want to look after someone. With mentor support, continuous training programmes, supported by a 12 week induction, you’ll have everything you need to feel confident as you begin your journey with us.

And while your home may feel a little quieter now, you could become part of another filled with conversation, friendships, laughter and those everyday moments that make someone feel safe, comforted and cared for.

We'd love to hear from you - either email [email protected] or WhatsApp for further details ☺️

Frank recently enjoyed a day out browsing the newspapers, spending time out in the community and enjoying an ice cream in the sunshine. Simple moments, but important ones. ❤️

we believe independence is something to be supported, not taken away. Whether that’s helping with everyday tasks, choosing your own clothes, reading the morning paper or popping out for an ice cream, the little things still matter.

There’s something so lovely about taking time to arrange flowers. 💐

For many people, simple everyday moments like this can bring comfort, familiarity and a sense of purpose. Choosing colours, placing each flower just right and creating something beautiful to enjoy together can become a meaningful part of the day.

Our little farm 🐄🌾🐓

The environment around us can have such an impact on how we feel each day. For many people, especially those who have lived or worked around the countryside, spaces like these can help with connection and start conversations.

Thank you Alzheimer's Society for sharing our Forget Me Not story.💙 Behind every Forget Me Not is a person, a family, a memory, and a life that continues to matter. Having a Dementia may change parts of someone’s journey, but it does not take away who they are, the love they have shared, or the moments of connection still possible every day.
