🌼 Blooming partnerships at ICH 🌼

🫴 In Caring Hands (ICH) Somerset, provides community care for young adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) in the comfort of their family home.

💐 At our Cornwall branch we were recently blown away by the kindness of local businesses. A lovely Florist donated fresh blooms for our Flower Catcher project, bringing vibrant colours and sensory delight to our service users there and offered us more blooms for future floral activities.

🤗 Overcoming challenges with compassion this Deafblind Awareness Week 🤗

🫴 At In Caring Hands (ICH), we support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) who face complex and unique challenges every day. These include those living with deafblindness.

❓ If you’re considering a career in care or are already an experienced, qualified carer, we are recruiting for both day and night shifts. Join us at ICH and help make a life-changing difference every day.

🥜 Anaphylaxis Awareness Week: Recognising and treating Anaphylaxis in PMLD 🥜

🔎 During Anaphylaxis Awareness Week, which is from the 1st to the 7th of June 2025, we want to highlight the importance of recognising and rapidly treating the signs of anaphylaxis in those with PMLD.

💁‍♀️ At In Caring Hands (ICH) we are committed to ensuring the wellbeing and safety of our service users with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).

‼️ For people with PMLD, the early signs of anaphylaxis can be more challenging to spot due to communication difficulties and other, often complex, health needs.

👀 Our devoted carers are trained to monitor subtle warning signs such as difficulty breathing, swelling, or sudden changes in pulse, ensuring that prompt and effective treatment is administered. This swift response plays a vital role in preventing serious complications during an anaphylactic incident.

🤔 If you’re considering a career in care or are already an experienced, qualified carer, we are recruiting for both day and night shifts for our community based service users in Somerset. Join us at ICH and help make a life-changing difference every day.
