Your Bubble - Home Care Services

12/04/2026

When it comes to home care, many people are told that services must be arranged through Social Services, the GP, or the council. While that’s often the starting point, it’s important to know that you have a choice about who provides your care.

For some, traditional care agencies don’t feel like the right fit — with different carers arriving at different times, it can feel inconsistent and impersonal.

As a Personal Assistant - founder of Your Bubble – Caring for You at Home, I offer a more personal, reliable alternative. I support both private clients and those whose care is funded or part funded by the council or Social Services across Sawley, Long Eaton, Breaston, and Castle Donington.

This means you can still receive funded care, but with:
✨ The same familiar face every day
✨ Support at times that suit you — not a rigid schedule
✨ Care delivered with dignity, patience, and genuine respect

Whether you’re someone who wants a calmer, more consistent routine, or a family member who simply wants their loved one to receive proper, unhurried care — from a good wash and shave to fresh clothes and well-prepared meals — I’m here to help.

I currently have a limited number of spaces available for new clients.

If you or someone you know would like to explore a more personal approach to care — whether privately or through council funding — please feel free to message me.

Another wonderful week of social calls and outings… and I’ve definitely eaten well 😅🍰

This week I enjoyed a lovely breakfast out with one of my regulars, something we do together every week, a coffee in the sunshine whilst out grocery shopping, a weekly two hour social call, this week we took a trip to the farm, and a little ice cream in the sunshine ☀️🍦 after picking up one of my care home clients. It’s not about just looking after people at home, it’s about getting people out, and supporting them to do the things that matter to them.

Three of these lovely clients have actually been with me since I first started Your Bubble, 19 months ago now 🥰 this makes it all feel really special 🤍

Just getting out, having a chat, and enjoying the simple things – that’s what it’s all about. If you or a loved one would like a bit of company, some time out, or a change of scenery from a residential/care home, just drop me a message 💌

✨ A Little Reintroduction… from Your Bubble ✨

Hello, I’m Emma 👋
A self-employed carer and personal assistant behind Your Bubble – Caring for You at Home 💛

I thought I’d take a moment to reintroduce myself, as I currently have some limited availability to welcome new clients.

I provide one-to-one support in the comfort of your own home across Sawley, Long Eaton, Breaston, and Castle Donington. My aim is simple—to help people feel safe, supported, and truly cared for, without the rush or inconsistency that can come with larger agencies.

Support can include:
• Personal care
• Companionship
• Medication support
• Exercise and mobility support
• Help around the home
• Support with daily routines
• Appointments and outings

For me, care is very personal and individual to each and every person, it’s about building genuine relationships and giving families peace of mind, knowing their loved one is in safe, caring hands.

If you or someone you know may benefit from a little extra support, I’d love to have a chat—no pressure, just a friendly conversation.

It’s such a pleasure and privilege to be able to take my lovely clients out on social calls. Today I had a lovely catch up over some tea and cake with one of my first clients. I absolutely adore this time I have to spend out and about 🥰

I often get asked, what is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s.

🧠 Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a range of conditions that affect memory, thinking, behaviour, and daily life. The type of dementia depends on which areas of the brain are affected, which is why symptoms can look different from person to person.

• Alzheimer’s disease – the most common type. Mainly affects memory, language, and understanding, and usually develops gradually.
• Vascular dementia – caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often after strokes. Problems with thinking, planning, and judgement are common.
• Frontotemporal dementia – affects the front and sides of the brain. Often shows as personality, behaviour, or language changes rather than memory loss at first.
• Lewy body dementia – linked to abnormal protein deposits in the brain. Can cause hallucinations, movement problems, sleep disturbances, and fluctuating alertness.
• Other dementias – include rarer types linked to conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or alcohol-related brain damage.

🧠 People can be diagnosed with more than one type of dementia.
This is known as mixed dementia and often involves a combination of Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. Because of this, symptoms can overlap and vary from person to person.

Understanding the differences helps people get the right support at the right time 💜

🌟 Calling all Self-Employed PAs & Private Carers for Local Collaboration 🌟

Hi, I’m Emma, a local self employed carer/Personal care assistant (PA).

I’m looking to connect with established, self-employed PAs / private carers in:

📍 Sawley | Long Eaton | Breaston | Risley | Toton | Castle Donington | Sandiacre

I’ve been self-employed for nearly 18 months, and it’s honestly been an amazing experience. I love the freedom, the relationships built with clients, and being able to deliver care properly.

What I’ve found over time is that, like many of us, we often have a mix of longer-term clients alongside shorter-term or changing contracts. This means workload naturally fluctuates — at times we’re at capacity, and at others we have availability. Occasionally this does mean turning work away, which is disappointing for both clients and carers.

The next stage in my journey is to create a small, trusted micro-team of self-employed carers who can support one another, while all remaining fully independent.

The idea is to:
• Support each other with annual leave, sickness and emergencies
• Balance fluctuating workloads
• Share and pass on work where appropriate
• Offer double-ups when clients need extra support
• Professionally recommend and promote one another
• Keep standards high and support each other in practice

For clients, this means:
✔️ Better continuity of care
✔️ Trusted cover instead of unfamiliar faces
✔️ Less disruption when circumstances change
✔️ A more flexible and reliable service

I’m looking to connect with people who are:
✔️ Already established (not looking to train at this stage)
✔️ Self-employed
✔️ Fully insured and up to date with training
✔️ Comfortable managing their own paperwork
✔️ Proud of the care they provide

This isn’t an agency and it’s not an employer/employee setup — just a micro-team of like-minded carers supporting one another and doing things properly.

If you are a self-employed carer and would be interested in having a chat about how we could support one another and our clients, and improve the overall service offering locally, please get in touch 😊

🛏️ Preventing Pressure Ulcers – Know the Signs & Get Help Early 🛏️

Pressure ulcers (sometimes called bed sores) can develop quickly, particularly for people with limited mobility. With the right care and early action, many are preventable.

✅ How to help prevent pressure ulcers:

• Reposition regularly (at least every 2 hours if in bed)
• Encourage gentle movement where possible
• Keep skin clean, dry, and well moisturised
• Use pressure-relieving cushions or mattresses
• Maintain good nutrition and hydration

⚠️ Warning signs to watch for:

• Red or discoloured skin that doesn’t fade
• Skin that feels warm, hard, or spongy
• Pain or tenderness in one area
• Blisters, open areas, or broken skin

Common risk areas include heels, hips, tailbone, elbows, and shoulders.

📞 Who to contact if you’re concerned:

• GP or District Nurse – for assessment and clinical advice
• Community Nursing Team – for wound and pressure care support
• NHS 111 – for urgent guidance if you’re unsure what to do
• 999 – if there are signs of infection, severe pain, or rapid deterioration

💙 Your Bubble is an independent, self-employed home care service, offering personalised support and early identification of concerns — without agency pressure or rushed visits.

If you’re caring for a loved one and would like flexible, one-to-one support at home, feel free to message me for a chat.
