Modern Life Healthcare

17/12/2025

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.

This video says it all — carers feeling isolated, undervalued, lonely, and without support.

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?

Respite is Self-care for carers: Because you can’t pour from an empty cup.

17/09/2025

Excited to be attending this event! 🌿

As someone passionate about respite care, my biggest concern is the financial support available for unpaid carers — the unsung heroes who give so much of themselves every day.

I’m keen to explore what we, as respite care providers, together with the council, can do to make life easier and ensure carers get the breaks they truly deserve. 💛

The Carers Council provides support to unpaid carers and family members looking after adults who have mental ill health. 🙂

The next Open meeting for the Carers Council is coming up soon with a guest speaker from the Carers Hub service.
📆Wednesday 17th September 1pm -4
📍Nottingham Mechanics, 3 North Sherwood St, Nottingham, NG1 4EZ.
Lunch and refreshments are provided
