We’re here to help and support your through what may be a stressful and confusing time.
Jenny has a busy lifestyle working, supporting her husband and children, and running the family home. Jenny often helps her elderly parents with shopping and getting to appointments whilst her husband helps them with gardening. Jenny’s brother lives in Albany and unfortunately can’t help with their parents. Jenny has been planning a holiday for a long time, she really needs a break and some time to recharge, but she is reluctant to let strangers in to her parents’ home as they are vulnerable and have specific needs.
Beatrice has become very lonely and isolated since her husband’s recent passing, she no longer has the desire to do the things she did before. During Winter the gutters overflowed, her husband used to clear them, and she can’t get up on the roof to do it herself. She could have asked her son-in-law but felt bad asking as he is very busy at work. Her daughter is also busy with her own two children and Beatrice is worried if she says anything she will be put in a nursing home.
Linda and her husband Joe have been married for 55 years. A few years ago, Joe was diagnosed with dementia, Linda has become his carer, but she is becoming quite overwhelmed. Their daughter Rose has mentioned that she should consider getting some help so she can have more time to herself to relax. Linda knows this would really benefit her and the family immensely, however she feels guilty that she needs a break from her husband and she isn’t used to asking for help.
