This week alone, I’ve spoken to families across Nottingham who are already tired! The year has only just begun.

The new year often comes with pressure to push on, cope better, do more.

But as a nurse, I’ve learned that caring well also means resting well.

Right now, my focus is on in-home respite and sitting support — giving carers space to breathe, while their loved ones stay safely at home.

Sometimes support doesn’t start with big plans.
It starts with a conversation.

Because carers need a break ♥️

✨ A milestone moment for us at Modern Life Healthcare ✨

This year has brought many highlights, but one of the biggest has been seeing Strelley Respite House come together. What began as a vision is now a completed, carefully renovated home — created with purpose, compassion, and a great deal of dedication.

The journey wasn’t easy. Bringing this home to completion took resilience, teamwork, and perseverance. Reaching this stage feels like a huge achievement, and we’re incredibly proud of what’s been created.

Strelley Respite House is a dedicated respite home for loved ones — a safe, comfortable, home-from-home environment where they are looked after with dignity and kindness. While their loved one is with us, carers can step away from their caring role with peace of mind — whether that’s for rest, a weekend away, or simply time to breathe — knowing their loved one is being cared for in a calm, supportive setting.

Bookings will be opening soon, marking another important step forward in our commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate respite care.

Onwards and upwards for Modern Life 💚

Last Saturday, myself, Steve, and Gail — Bryce’s grandma and Steve’s mum — visited Bryce at his home, where they were holding a Christmas party.

We spent time together, played, laughed, and simply enjoyed being present with him. Moments like these remind you that good care is about more than routines — it’s about feeling safe, understood, and genuinely supported.

What brought us the greatest sense of reassurance was when it was time to leave. Bryce was calm, content, and happy enough to wave us goodbye — without distress. That simple moment told us so much. It showed us that he feels safe where he is, comfortable in his surroundings, and supported by the people caring for him.

Seeing how the carers engaged with him — with patience, warmth, and consistency — gave us real comfort. Knowing he is happy and settled allowed us to leave feeling peaceful too, confident that he is exactly where he needs to be.

Experiences like this continue to shape how I view care — that when it’s done with compassion and respect, it supports not only the individual, but the families who love them. Sometimes the quiet moments say everything.

Last Saturday was one of those moments.

What an amazing day at the Dementia & Carers Roadshow! ✨

I was honoured to be invited to hold a stall on behalf of Modern Life Healthcare — and wow, what an experience!
I met the most incredible people, shared meaningful conversations, and laughed with some truly beautiful souls.

Events like this remind me why I love what I do. Supporting carers, connecting with families, and being part of a community that genuinely cares… it makes life feel like a doddle when you’re doing what you love.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared their stories, or simply shared a smile.
I’m leaving today inspired, energised, and grateful.

🌿 Because carers deserve support, connection, and a break too.

✨My Own Respite — and a Reminder We All Need It✨

It’s been a while since my last post… because I took some real time off! 🌴

Running a respite-focused business, I often remind others to take a break — and this time, I finally practised what I preach.

A huge thank you to Steve,my partner in life and business, for holding the fort while I switched off completely — no calls, no emails, just rest. 💚

Now I’m back, recharged and ready to care for your loved ones — so you can have your own version of respite too.
Whether it’s a sunny holiday, a quiet coffee, or simply a few moments to breathe — it all counts.

Modern Life Healthcare- Because Carers Need A Break Too!

28/09/2025

Had such a lovely morning with Lisa and the ever-adorable Alfie 🐾💛 at John Eastwood Hospice. It was inspiring to learn more about the incredible work they do and to understand that the hospice is about so much more than people often think. In fact, only around 8% of people pass away there. The hospice also provides a wide range of services, offering comfort, support, and care for both patients and families in many different ways.

I’m excited that Modern Life Healthcare is one of the sponsors to the hospice and their upcoming Christmas Ball 🎄✨, and also looking forward to ways we can collaborate — offering our respite care to help families who may need that extra break.

💡 Did you know John Eastwood Hospice isn’t NHS funded and relies entirely on fundraising and community support?
