Rated Excellent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
At 92 years old, Brian had one clear goal—to stay in his own home for as long as possible. His daughter, Hannah, knew that moving to a care home would break his spirit.“Dad’s happiest in his own chair, in his own home, with his radio playing.”But things were getting harder. His eyesight was failing, he struggled with mobility, and daily tasks were becoming overwhelming.
Hannah tried to help as much as possible, but juggling work, kids, and caring left her stretched thin. “I wanted to be there all the time, but I just couldn’t.” That’s when she looked into live-in care.
A Carer Who Feels Like Family
Through Prime Eldercare, Hannah found Mark, a live-in carer with experience in elderly care. “Dad was hesitant at first—he’s always been so independent. But Mark wasn’t just there to ‘help’—he made sure Dad still felt in control.”
Mark supported Brian with daily tasks—cooking, getting dressed, keeping the house tidy—but more importantly, he helped Brian stay connected to life.
“They’d sit and listen to the radio together, chat about the war years, even go for short walks when Dad felt up to it.” Over time, something incredible happened—Brian started feeling like himself again.
“I thought having a carer meant losing my independence. But actually, it’s the opposite—it’s given it back to me.” – Brian For Hannah, knowing her dad could stay at home, safe and happy, was priceless.
“I used to wake up worrying—what if he fell? What if he forgot to eat? Now, I wake up knowing he’s in good hands.” Want to Help Your Loved One Stay Independent?
