Today we celebrated the beautiful life and bid farewell to Betty (Bet) aged 96yrs old; our first client we were engaged to work with 4 & 1/2 years ago.

We feel so deeply honoured to be entrusted by families, welcomed into their lives, and invited to walk alongside them while caring for their loved ones, sometimes right through the palliative care process.

Betty will always hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️

Supporting clients through the various stages of deterioration can be both challenging and also incredibly rewarding!.
It is a true privilege to walk alongside them through those stages, and eventually through the palliative and end-of-life journey.
Being welcomed into their circle by their family, and treated like one of their own during such vulnerable moments; it is an honor I never take for granted.
Mrs D has certainly kept me on my toes for the past 3 years, and having her still smile, squeeze my hand and looking peaceful is truly beautiful ❤️

It’s been quite busy behind the scenes here and we are very excited to welcome another 2 new client to our service starting this coming week.

We really appreciate our clients giving us reviews, and also spreading the word and recommending our services.

Today is R U OK? Day.
It is a great day to ask those around you: R U OK?
It can make such a difference in someone’s life to feel like someone cares, and that someone is there to listen!

See the image below with ideas to start the conversation!

If you get asked “R U OK? ” today, be honest with your reply, it’s ok to be not ok or to be just ok!

If anyone is struggling and needs someone to talk to; I invite you to message me or reach out to the free services below.

A New Day, A New Sunrise
Each morning brings a fresh start, a chance for hope, for connection, and for kindness.

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we come together as a community to remind ourselves of the power of reaching out. A simple smile, a wave, a phone call, a hug, these small gestures can make a big difference. You never know the silent battles someone may be facing.

Across Australia, we walk today to:
- Honour those we’ve lost to su***de,
- Bring hope to those who are struggling,
- And remind everyone: you are not alone.

Let’s make today count. How will you make a difference?

Today can bring up a lot of feelings. If you need someone to talk to, we are here 24/7

August 4th - 10th is National Stroke Week

The Stroke Foundation recommends the F.A.S.T. test as an easy way to remember the most common signs of stroke. Using the F.A.S.T. test involves asking these simple questions:
Face Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
Arms Can they lift both arms?
Speech Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
Time Is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.
