Ian, Son of client
The care provided to my mum was excellent throughout. From initial contact, the process was straight forward, and the appropriate level of care was decided. My mum really took to the carers, and although they were all good, she inevitably had one or two favourites who she looked forward to seeing.
D.G, Son of client
Since the Carers started, they have looked after mum wonderfully. There has been a marked improvement in her appetite and weight. They have given Mum someone to look forward to seeing each day. The family is relieved that someone is with her in the morning, at lunchtime and bedtime.

- How will this care help me or my loved one?
A gastrostomy has been recommended due to the fact you or your loved one are not receiving the right amount of nutrition, are unable to swallow or tolerate food by mouth. Getting the nutrients through tube feeding should allow all nutritional needs to be met. Our Care Professionals providing feeding support can ensure that you or a loved are supported while using this method, and can assist if any issues arise.
- How long will I need gastrostomy care and feeding support care?
This can vary from person to person, for some it is permanent, but for many people it can be a temporary measure so care will only be required until they are able to eat and drink safely again. Our Care Professionals will work alongside your clinical team to provide support as and when you need it.
- Can I live a normal life while receiving gastrostomy care?
Once you are back at home following surgery, it’s only natural you would wish to continue with a number of social activities. While planning round feeding support can be difficult, small adjustments can help you carry on with whatever you feel well enough to do.
- How can I handle loss of appetite for myself/my loved one?Discover More
Experiencing a loss of appetite as we age is quite common, and it’s usually nothing to be overly concerned about unless there’s been a noticeable and sudden drop in weight. It’s estimated that about 20% of older adults may experience a decrease in their appetite over time.
There can be various reasons behind this change, ranging from a general disinterest in food to health issues that make eating uncomfortable or unappealing.
If you’re finding it challenging to encourage a loved one to eat more, one approach could be to focus on enhancing the nutritional value of the smaller portions they do consume. Ensuring they’re getting the necessary nutrients can help maintain their overall health.
Ultimately, the key is to honour their preferences and desires when it comes to food. Research indicates that when individuals have the freedom to choose what they eat, they tend to eat more regularly and enjoy their meals more. So, it’s important to find out what foods they’re in the mood for and try to accommodate those cravings. By catering to their preferences, we can help them maintain a healthier relationship with food as they age.
