Just as importantly, strong relationships grow over time.

A lot of people tell us they almost didn't apply because they thought their CV was not “right”.

Maybe they didn't have prior care experience, gaps in work history, time spent raising children or looking after someone else.

What they didn't realise is that those life experiences often tell us far more than job titles on a CV ever could. Being the person friends come to when something is wrong, staying calm under pressure, caring for a loved one, juggling responsibilities or simply being a good listener.

These are the skills that really matter in care. They don't always show up on paper, but we see them every day in brilliant Care Professionals who never thought they would be a good fit.

Our Care Professionals come from all walks of life and we highly value life experience because that's what our clients value, too.

If this sounds like you and you've been interested in a career in care but haven't taken the first step, speak with our team on 01642 309650 or visit https://go.homeinstead.co.uk/3xJqzDl to learn more about becoming a Care Professional in Cleveland.

Independence is often misunderstood as doing everything alone.

In reality, it can mean having the right support in place so life feels manageable, confident and your own. For some people, that support makes the difference between feeling stuck and getting on with life.

True independence is not about age or labels. It is about being able to live in a way that works for you.

Did you know that memories from decades ago can sometimes be easier to access than what happened this morning?

That is why reminiscence therapy can be so powerful. Long term memories are often stored differently in the brain and can remain intact even when short term memory becomes unreliable.

What many people do not realise is that reminiscing is not about testing memory at all. It is about reducing pressure. A photograph, a familiar song or a shared story can help someone feel calmer, more confident and more able to communicate, often leading to richer conversations and better emotional wellbeing in the present.

Very often, when supporting someone living with dementia, our Care Professionals in Cleveland naturally use reminiscence as part of their visits, through conversation, music, photos or shared routines. It is one of the many small, thoughtful ways we help clients feel more at ease and connected in the moment.
