Personal Care that supports your independence, not replaces it

Sometimes needs change, and we might find that a little extra support can be helpful. But this doesn't mean independence has to disappear. Our goal is to quietly share the load, becoming a trusted source of support in the background, so that you can continue to live and enjoy life your way.

After Mat's mum was diagnosed with Herpes Encephalitis, her brain completely reset at the age of 55. He didn't think she'd ever be the same again, but thankfully, the brain has amazing ways to repair itself 🧠

He learnt that getting his mum back to familiar environments can actually help rebuild the connections in her brain through neuroplasticity. Today, Mat's mum has had a full recovery and lives independently surrounded by friends.

🛁 Showering dressing and grooming
🚗 Mobility and safe transfers

When a loved one is going through a tough time, their first instinct may not be to ask for help. The fear of being a burden to others is very real, and it stops a lot of people from opening up, even after they're asked, "How are you?" But, there's power in waiting for the right time and asking the right sorts of questions.

Jessamine Chen, Research Fellow at the Lifespan Health and Wellbeing Research Centre at Macquarie University, speaks on the importance of checking up on someone consistently. Sometimes, asking someone "How are you?" a second time can be the difference between them getting support or not.

What's the difference between Personal Care and Social Care? 🤔

Although both types of care can help a person become more independent, Personal Care deals with more hands-on support like grooming and showering while Social Care focuses on supporting a person's access to the community.

For many Like Family Members, Personal Care becomes a natural extension of the support they already receive. Receiving Personal Care through Like Family means you are getting the same warmth and human connection as Social Care. It’s not just about completing tasks, it’s about supporting your lifestyle.

Sometimes we all need a bit of time to ourselves to recharge, but when a loved one stops doing the things that bring them joy, like socialising with others, it might be a sign that there's something deeper going on behind the scenes.

In this episode of Heart to Heart, Jessamine Chen, Research Fellow at the Lifespan Health and Wellbeing Research Centre at Macquarie University, speaks on the connection between loneliness, depression, and anxiety. She talks about the behaviours to look out for that might show that a loved is in need of support.
