🌧️ Some days are heavier than others...
It’s a strange thing — to carry a broken heart, to grieve, or to feel deeply lost — and still have to:

🛒 Buy groceries
📧 Reply to emails
😂 Watch funny videos on your feed

Life doesn’t pause for pain. And that contrast can feel surreal.

If you’re moving through a hard chapter right now, please know you’re not alone. Whether it’s grief, caregiving burnout, or quiet sadness, it’s okay to feel not-okay.

💛 Your mental health matters — even when the world keeps spinning.

When families consider home care services, one of the first questions they often ask is, “What exactly does a care assistant do?” It’s a great question — and the answer might surprise you. While most people associate home support with helping someone get dressed or take their medication, the role of a care assistant goes far beyond basic tasks.

What is an Advance Healthcare Directive? 🤔
An Advance Healthcare Directive lets you write down your wishes about medical treatment in case you are unable to speak for yourself in the future. 📝🚒🩺

▪️It can include:
What treatments you want or don’t want
Who should make decisions on your behalf

▪️How much does it cost?
It does not cost anything to make, change or end an Advance Healthcare Directive.

You can read more about making an Advance Healthcare Directive in the below guidance material by Decision Support Services Ireland. 👇🏼

🎉 We’re 4 Today! 🎉

Today marks 4 years in business for us at Affinity Plus and what an incredible journey it’s been. To celebrate, we hosted a lovely afternoon tea for our amazing Care Assistants — because they truly are the heart of everything we do. 💛☕🍰

Homecare isn’t just a job — it’s a calling. It takes patience, compassion, resilience, and a deep sense of purpose. No two days are the same, and the impact our carers make in people’s lives goes far beyond routine. It’s emotional, personal, and life-changing — both for those we care for and those who deliver that care.

Over the past 4 years, we’ve faced our fair share of challenges — from staffing shortages and changing regulations to the unique pressures of supporting vulnerable people during uncertain times. But through it all, we kept going. We adapted. We learned. We grew. 🩷 🩵

And here we are — 4 years strong, and only getting better. 💪

To our Care Assistants: thank you for showing up every day with dedication, heart, and kindness. To our clients and families: thank you for trusting us with your care. And to our supporters, friends, and community — we wouldn’t be here without you. 🧡

Here’s to many more years of making a difference — one home, one person, one smile at a time.
