Sheila and her SCA Carer, Agnes, recently celebrated Sheila’s 85th birthday where they spent the afternoon out and about in the local area. They started their day with a visit to a nearby flower shop that Sheila had heard about and where Sheila treated herself to a new pot plant for her bedroom, after browsing the other plants and flowers on display, Sheila and Agnes were onto the next stop.
No birthday outing would be complete without a coffee and cake break, Sheila and Agnes found the perfect coffee lounge in Ocean Village. There, Sheila enjoyed one of her favourite hot drinks, a café latte and treated herself to a toasted tea cake.
This outing was made possible thanks to the support Sheila receives from our SCA Home Care Team. Sheila lives with her daughter and faces the challenges of early onset dementia, her daughter had spotted one of our Home Care Team and another client on a day out and decided to contact us after finding us through a Google search.
Despite Sheila’s daughter’s full-time work commitments, she ensures Sheila gets the breaks she needs and helps her stay active by getting her out and about. Following the respite we provided for Sheila’s daughter and the social and emotional support we provided Sheila, she is also now attending our day care services, provided by Southampton Living Well.
Sheila’s story is a true testament of how the right care choice for your loved one’s can add enjoyment and engagement to their lives, regardless of the care they need. If you would be interested in exploring our home care or day care services, please reach out to us today!
