Making Mum and Dad Happy: Why Families Choose Home Instead in Hinckley, Burbage and Nuneaton
Discover how companionship care helps older adults in Hinckley, Burbage & Nuneaton stay happy, connected, an/?d independent with Home Instead.
Happiness doesn’t only come from big occasions. More often, it’s found in the small, everyday moments that bring comfort and connection. A friendly chat over tea, a familiar face at the door, or a short game of dominoes can transform an ordinary day into something special.
At Home Instead Hinckley, Burbage & Nuneaton, we believe these little moments are what make the biggest difference, helping our clients feel supported, valued, and above all, happy at home.
Why companionship matters
Studies show that staying socially connected in later life is one of the most important contributors to wellbeing. It’s not only linked to better physical health but also to lower stress and a greater sense of purpose. That’s why our Care Professionals take time to build genuine relationships, offering company and conversation as well as practical support.
One daughter, Sue, told us:
“Choosing a care provider for my dad was daunting, but Home Instead was the best decision I’ve made. The carers are professional yet friendly, and Dad is given as much independence as possible. When a medical incident happened, the carer stayed until help arrived and management followed up to check Dad was ok.”
This mix of reassurance, kindness, and professionalism is what companionship care is all about: creating a sense of safety and comfort while encouraging independence.
Simple ways to bring more happiness into your home
While professional care provides reassurance and support, families can also play a big part in creating happiness at home. It doesn’t always require grand gestures – small, thoughtful actions often make the greatest impact. Here are a few ideas to try:
- Share hobbies and games – whether it’s a round of dominoes, card games, or a crossword puzzle, light-hearted activities spark laughter and keep the mind active.
- Cook or bake together – preparing a favourite meal or baking a simple treat can become a joyful shared ritual.
- Bring out memories – reminiscing, photo albums, souvenirs, or even old recipes are wonderful conversation starters and can lift spirits instantly.
- Encourage movement – a short walk in the garden, or even gentle stretches indoors, can improve mood as well as health.
- Stay connected – regular calls, video chats, or visits from friends and neighbours remind a loved one that they’re part of a wider circle of care.
These simple touches, alongside consistent professional support, help create a home environment that feels warm, welcoming, and full of positive moments.
