Going the Extra Mile: How Our Temporary Live-In Care Made a Difference for Mr G

At the heart of our care services is flexibility - ensuring that our clients receive the right support at the right time.

While many of our clients receive hourly care visits, we also offer both live-in care and temporary live-in care, offering peace of mind during times when a little extra help is needed.

One of our valued clients, Mr G, is a fantastic example of how this flexible approach can truly enhance someone’s quality of life.

A Passion for Life and Adventure

Mr G receives regular hourly visits from our Care Professionals, which support him to continue enjoying the activities he loves. A passionate outdoorsman with a keen interest in canoeing, football, quiz programmes, and music, Mr G has a real zest for life.

One of his regular Care Professionals, Debbie, shares many of his interests – from their mutual love of football and quiz shows to their shared enthusiasm for music. Their bond has grown over time, making their visits not only productive but also filled with laughter and camaraderie.

Temporary Live-In Support When It Matters Most

Recently, when Mr G’s wife needed to travel to visit family, we were able to offer a tailored solution by arranging temporary live-in care. Debbie was more than happy to step in and provide support during this time. Knowing she already had a great relationship with Mr G, it was a perfect match – offering continuity, familiarity, and friendship throughout her stay.

Memories Made at Fleetwood Bac

One of the highlights of Debbie’s stay was arranging a very special outing with the help of our Scheduler, Catherine. Together with Mr G, they planned an evening out to enjoy a live music concert by the popular Fleetwood Mac tribute band, Fleetwood Bac.

The evening was a resounding success! Not only did Mr G get to enjoy an incredible live show, but he also had the chance to meet members of the band alongside Debbie and Catherine. The photos from the night say it all – big smiles, shared memories, and the joy of doing something truly special together.
