When you support someone with dementia who has a strong personality and values their independence fiercely, a new face walking through the door can feel like an intrusion at first.
They don’t want to be "managed" or taken over, and quite right too!

​My approach isn't to walk in and take charge. It’s about stepping back, respecting their space, and letting them set the pace.
But doing this right means working as a proper team. Even though I operate as an independent carer, I work hand-in-hand with the family and the other carers. We share insights, communicate constantly, and ensure that whoever is on shift is providing the exact same consistent, familiar approach.

​Seeing that shift when I started a month ago from a defensive "Why are you here?" to a warm "I was thinking about you" today is the most rewarding part of this job.
It means the teamwork is paying off, trust has been built, and the client feels safe.

Independence isn't lost; it’s just supported by a solid team. 🌿

​I am an independent carer in the Swansea area specialising in 1-2-1, person-centred support. If you have a loved one who wants to keep their independence but needs a reliable team player to support them, let’s have a chat.

As we get older, it’s incredibly common for appetite to drop. Cooking a proper meal can start to feel like too much effort, or the motivation just isn't there when cooking for one. Too many elderly people end up slipping into a routine of skipping meals or just sticking to tea and toast, which quickly impacts their energy and health.

This evening's call was all about serving up a proper, comforting plate of food alongside a fresh salad. It’s about sitting down, having a chat, and turning mealtime back into an enjoyable part of the day rather than a chore.

I am currently taking on new clients in the Swansea and Mumbles area for 1-2-1 support, meal preparation, Outings and respite care.

There’s nothing like a proper afternoon out to lift the mood. We’ve had a brilliant time chilling at the pub, catching up, and just enjoying being part of the local community!

​Socialising, having a chat, and making sure my clients still get to enjoy the things they’ve always loved doing is what really matters.

Caught my client J feeding the squirrels moment this morning. Before we even got started with our call, she was already busy making sure the local birds and this cheeky one were well-fed.

Being able to stay at home and keeping up with the routines that bring us joy, is what it’s all about.

For 1-2-1 home support, contact me and we can have a no pressure chat!

I’ve spent a lovely afternoon providing 1-2-1 respite for client G. When the environment is right and the approach is gentle, even the quietest moments can be the most meaningful!

Today is a very relaxed shift with client A. watching together the film E.T.
​It is nice to just sit together, relax, and enjoy a classic movie. These quiet moments are very important for building a good friendship and trust.
​Sometimes, a good film, a cup of tea and a bit of peace is the best way to spend the day!

I had such a funny start to my shift tonight with my client, J.

​I opened the door with my key and rang the bell like I always do. But tonight, she was hiding behind the wall and jumped out to scare me! She was playing hide and seek... ​We had such a big laugh together!

​I only started with J one month ago. Because of her dementia, it was very hard for her to accept me at the start. But I know that in this job, you must build trust day by day and be very patient.

​Tonight, that "scare" showed me she finally feels comfortable with me. It made my heart very happy!

See you tomorrow!

Had a wonderful afternoon out with Client G, exploring the Swansea Waterfront Museum and enjoying a walk around the marina. We finished the day with a well-deserved ice cream in Killay.

​Moments like these are what person-centred care is all about. If you are a family member in need of a break, I am here to help you rest easy knowing your loved one is in safe, experienced hands.
