Approaching the subject of care

Starting a conversation about care options for your loved one can be challenging. It can be a tough subject to talk about.

Here are a few gentle approaches that may help you:

- Start by expressing your care and concern for them. Let them know that you've noticed changes or challenges and that you're there to support them in finding solutions.

- Start by reassuring your loved one that this is a discussion and you want to hear how they feel about the idea.

- Listen attentively to their thoughts, feelings, and preferences regarding their care.

Get professional guidance by speaking with healthcare professionals and care providers to explore what type of care is best for the individual

✨ GoodOaks Edgware & Finchley – 2025 Highlights ✨

As we reflect on 2025, we’re incredibly proud of everything achieved across GoodOaks Edgware & Finchley. From fundraising for Dementia UK and continuing to support Age UK through regular volunteering, to celebrating our step-challenge winner and promoting wellbeing, moving into our new office, and taking time to recharge with a bowling R&R session — this year has truly been about growth, teamwork and community.

We’ve also loved recognising and rewarding carers who referred clients or fellow carers, celebrating award wins at the GoodOaks Homecare conference , and being Highly Commended at the Great British Care Awards for Home Care Team. Ending the year by enjoying Christmas together in our new space felt like the perfect close. None of this would be possible without our dedicated carers, supportive clients and wider community. We wish everyone a prosperous, healthy and successful New Year as we look ahead with gratitude and excitement.
