💙 Palliative Care at Home: Why Live-In Support Makes All the Difference

When someone we love is facing a life-limiting condition, every moment matters. Comfort, dignity, and peace of mind become more important than ever — not just for the person receiving care, but for their family too.

At Promedica24, we believe that palliative care should be personal, compassionate, and delivered in the place people feel safest: home.
Here’s how our live-in care model supports individuals and families during this deeply sensitive time:

🕊️ Always There, Always Caring
Our carers provide round-the-clock support, offering gentle reassurance and practical help — day and night. No shift changes. No unfamiliar faces. Just one dedicated person who truly understands your loved one’s needs.

🏡 Care in a Familiar Setting
Being at home means more than comfort — it means being surrounded by memories, pets, loved ones, and the rhythms of daily life. This sense of continuity can ease anxiety and bring peace during difficult moments.

🫱🏽‍🫲🏼 Support for the Whole Family
Live-in care isn’t just about the person receiving it. Families gain breathing space, knowing someone is there to help with medication, personal care, and emotional support. We walk alongside you, not just behind the scenes.

🧠 Tailored, Holistic Care
Our carers are trained to support not just physical symptoms, but emotional and spiritual wellbeing too. Every care plan is personalised, and we work closely with GPs, nurses, and hospice teams to ensure seamless support.

🤝 Preserving Dignity and Choice
Even in the most challenging times, we believe in empowering people to make choices — about their routines, meals, and how they spend their day. It’s about living well, right to the end.
________________________________________
If you or someone you know is exploring palliative care options, we’re here to talk — with empathy, clarity, and no pressure.

As the weather cools, older adults are more vulnerable to cold-related illness. Layering clothing, maintaining a safe indoor temperature, and staying active indoors can help protect health. Simple precautions like checking that heating works properly and using warm bedding at night are also important.

Respite care provides temporary support for someone who usually receives help from a family carer. It allows carers to take a break, attend to personal matters, or simply rest, knowing their loved one is in safe hands. It can take place at home or in a care home, depending on needs and preferences.

🪙 The Care Funding See-Saw: Who’s Carrying the Weight? 📊 Same care. Unequal cost.

In the UK care system, self-funders are paying £1,300+ per week—often 40% more than those funded by local authorities. Why? Because the system relies on cross-subsidy to stay afloat.

This isn’t just a financial imbalance—it’s a moral one. 👵🏼👴🏼 Two clients, same care, vastly different costs. 💬 “Balancing the books—on the backs of self-funders.”

It’s time we talked about fairness in care funding. Let’s raise awareness, challenge the status quo, and advocate for transparency.

📌 If you or a loved one are navigating care options, understanding this see-saw could make all the difference.

🔁 Share to spread the word. 💬 Comment below: Have you experienced this imbalance firsthand?

🌟 Happiness in Later Life: More Than Just Smiles 🌟

Did you know that older adults often experience a deeper, more meaningful kind of happiness? It’s not just about fleeting joy—it’s about connection, purpose, and feeling truly safe and cared for.

At Promedica24, we believe that happiness in older age starts with feeling secure, valued, and never alone. That’s why our live-in care service is built around three pillars:

💙 Companionship – A friendly face, a listening ear, and someone to share life’s little moments with.
🛡️ Safety – Round-the-clock support from trained carers who understand your needs.
🏡 Comfort at Home – No upheaval, no relocation—just personalised care in the place you love most.

Whether it’s enjoying a cuppa together, reminiscing over old photos, or simply knowing someone is there if needed, our carers bring more than just support—they bring heart.

Let’s make later life not just safe, but joyful.

☀️ Staying Safe in the Summer Heat: Tips for Older Adults 🧊

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of heat-related illness, especially for older people. Whether you're enjoying the garden, heading out for errands, or relaxing indoors, a few simple steps can make all the difference:

✅ Stay hydrated – Sip water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid too much caffeine or alcohol.

✅ Dress for the weather – Light, loose-fitting clothes and a wide-brimmed hat can help keep you cool.

✅ Keep your home cool – Use fans, keep curtains closed during peak sun hours, and open windows in the cooler parts of the day.

✅ Avoid going out during peak heat – Try to schedule walks or appointments in the early morning or evening.

✅ Check in with others – If you live alone, let someone know how you're doing. And if you have older neighbours or relatives, a quick call or visit can mean a lot.

🌼 At Promedica24, we believe safety and comfort go hand in hand. If you or a loved one needs extra support during the warmer months, our live-in care team is here to help—compassionate, professional, and always person-centred.

💬 Feel free to share your own summer tips below, or tag someone who might find this helpful.
