Carin’s Story

For Carin, living on a remote farm and managing a serious kidney condition seemed incompatible with staying at home. After a hospital stay for dialysis, her daughter wanted Carin to return home, but she needed help with the daily dialysis procedure. Local services couldn’t provide the necessary support due to the farm’s location, but Home Instead South Lanarkshire stepped in with a solution.

The care team received specialised training from the hospital on how to manage Carin’s dialysis, allowing her to stay at home for over two years. Home Instead’s dedication to providing personalised care, even in remote areas, ensured Carin could maintain her independence and avoid regular hospital trips.
