Why Power of Attorney Matters 🖊️

Putting a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place is not just about preparing for the future — it is about making sure your wishes are respected, even if you are unable to make decisions yourself one day.

Whether it relates to finances, property, or healthcare, an LPA allows someone you trust to act on your behalf. But before this legal arrangement can be finalised, mental capacity must be assessed.

A capacity assessment ensures the person fully understands what the LPA means and can make the decision freely and clearly. This protects both the individual and the legal validity of the process.

We provide expert, impartial assessments to support individuals, families, and solicitors during the Power of Attorney process. Our role is to ensure every step is handled with clarity, respect, and legal accuracy.

Seeking Clarity in Uncertain Moments

When a loved one begins to experience memory loss, confusion, or noticeable changes in behaviour, it can be difficult to know what to think — or what to do next.

Symptoms may come and go. Some days may feel typical, while others raise real concern. Families are often left wondering whether this is simply part of ageing, or something more serious.

In these moments of uncertainty, professional insight can make all the difference.

At Halcyon Doctors, we specialise in assessing complex cognitive and capacity concerns. Our experienced consultants take the time to understand each situation fully, helping families make sense of what they are seeing.

Whether you are seeking a clearer understanding of symptoms, clarity around legal capacity, or guidance on the next steps for care, we are here to help.

Understanding Lewy Body Dementia 🧠

Dementia is not a single condition. Understanding the specific type affecting your loved one can make a meaningful difference to the care and support they receive.

Lewy Body Dementia is one of the most common forms, but it is often misdiagnosed or confused with other conditions such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. These are some of the signs that may indicate its presence:

✔️ Visual hallucinations, often vivid or detailed
✔️ Fluctuating levels of alertness and confusion
✔️ Changes in movement, including stiffness or tremors
✔️ Disturbed sleep, including physically acting out dreams

Because the symptoms can overlap with other conditions and vary from day to day, specialist assessment is essential.

Halcyon Doctors offer careful, personalised evaluations to identify complex conditions like Lewy Body Dementia. Our experienced consultants work closely with families to provide clear answers, thoughtful guidance, and access to the right next steps.

Recognising the Early Signs 🧠

Worried that something more than ageing might be affecting your loved one?

Here are some gentle signs to look out for:
✔️ Frequent forgetfulness or repeating themselves
✔️ Struggling to follow conversations or instructions
✔️ Losing track of time, dates or familiar places
✔️ Withdrawing from social situations or activities
✔️ Difficulty managing everyday tasks
✔️ Sudden changes in mood or personality

If you're noticing one or more of these, it might be time to seek expert guidance.

At Halcyon Doctors, we help families understand what’s happening and what to do next. Our specialist team provides compassionate cognitive and capacity assessments across England and Wales.

Peace of Mind Begins With a Conversation 🕊️

Starting a conversation about capacity, cognitive change, or future care is never easy. But speaking openly and early — before a crisis arises — can be one of the most loving things you do for a parent or partner.

These discussions help families understand their options, plan ahead, and make confident, informed decisions that reflect the wishes of their loved ones. At Halcyon Doctors, we support people through these sensitive moments with empathy, expertise, and clear guidance.

Whether you're seeking clarity about a current concern or planning ahead for the future, our consultant-led team are here to help you start the conversation - calmly, respectfully, and in your own time.

What Is a Retrospective Capacity Assessment? 🧠

A retrospective capacity assessment looks at whether someone had the mental capacity to make a decision at a specific point in the past.

It’s often used in legal situations, such as when the validity of a Will is being questioned after someone has passed away.

Here’s what’s involved:
• Reviewing what the person’s mental and physical health was like at the time
• Looking at how their condition may have affected decision-making
• Understanding the context around the decision
• Supporting fair outcomes in complex cases

This is one of the specialist services provided by Halcyon Doctors. Our team is dual-trained in both mental and physical health, offering a well-rounded and compassionate approach to these sensitive assessments.

Listening Is a Clinical Skill 👂

At Halcyon Doctors, we recognise that good clinical care begins with listening — not only to the individual, but also to their family, their concerns, and their aspirations.

In cases of complex or long-term illness, decisions cannot be made in isolation. Understanding someone’s daily experiences, their definition of quality of life, and what truly matters to them is central to delivering meaningful, person-centred care.

Listening is not passive. It is a deliberate and essential aspect of our approach, building trust, reducing anxiety, and informing thoughtful, individualised decisions.

Supporting Families Through Complex Illness 🤝

A serious diagnosis can affect more than just the individual receiving care. It often brings emotional and practical challenges for the entire family. Relatives may find themselves navigating unfamiliar medical territory, managing responsibilities, and facing difficult decisions, all while trying to support their loved one.

At Halcyon Doctors, we believe that truly compassionate care considers the needs of families as well as patients. Our consultant-led service provides expert clinical support alongside clear communication and a reassuring presence for relatives and caregivers.

We work closely with families to ensure they feel heard, informed, and involved at every stage. Whether explaining a treatment plan, discussing future care options, or simply being available to answer questions, we are here to help families feel confident and supported throughout the process.

Connection Is Care 🌼

As we age, maintaining social connection becomes just as vital as managing our health.

Regular conversation, shared laughter, and meaningful time with others can help reduce loneliness, lift mood, and even support memory and physical wellbeing.

At Halcyon Doctors, we see the difference these moments make. Our care isn’t just about symptoms or diagnoses — it’s about helping people stay connected to the lives they love.

Our care extends beyond clinical needs. By understanding how a person lives, who they rely on, and what matters most, we help support comfort, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Respecting the Individual in Every Care Plan 🕊

At Halcyon Doctors, every care plan starts with a simple principle: see the person, not just the condition.

Our consultant-led approach goes beyond clinical needs. We take time to understand each individual’s health, daily life, preferences, and long-term goals — creating a plan that truly fits.

What do we consider?
• Health needs — including diagnoses, symptoms, and medications
• Daily routines — mobility, independence, emotional wellbeing
• Personal values — some prefer minimal input, others welcome regular support
• Family involvement — we listen to everyone involved
• Hopes and goals — like staying at home, avoiding hospital, or feeling in control

Care should support not just health, but dignity, routine, and what matters most to each individual.

Understanding Palliative Care 🌿

The word palliative is often misunderstood, with many people associating it solely with end-of-life support.

Palliative support can begin much earlier, focusing on relieving symptoms, easing discomfort, and helping individuals live as well as possible with a serious illness or long-term condition.

At Halcyon Doctors, we work with individuals who may have complex or life-limiting conditions, such as advanced dementia or long-term neurological illness. Our consultant-led visits take place in the comfort of home or a care setting, where we focus on personalised care, clear communication, and dignity at every stage.

Good care isn’t just about treatment, it’s about listening, adapting, and supporting the whole person.
