Neglecting personal hygiene is often one of the first visible signs of dementia, but it’s a sensitive topic for families to address. We believe that everyone deserves to start the day feeling fresh and respected. Even a short visit each morning to support a loved one with their personal care can make a significant impact on their well-being!

Did you know that nearly 70% of older adults will eventually need some form of long-term care, yet most wait until a "crisis point" like a fall or sudden illness to seek it? At Amora Care, we advocate for the "Friendship First" approach. Instead of waiting for a medical necessity, try introducing a helping hand for light housework, cooking, or local shopping trips once a week. This low-pressure introduction allows a genuine bond to form. By the time personal care might be required, the "carer" is already a trusted family friend, making the transition significantly less stressful for both you and your parents.

As we age, our dietary needs change, but the motivation to cook a full meal can often decrease—especially for those living alone. Research shows that malnutrition affects roughly 1 in 10 people over the age of 65. Having a friendly companion visit for "domestic support" isn't just about a tidy kitchen; it’s about ensuring your loved one enjoys a fresh, nutritious meal and stays hydrated. Whether it’s whipping up a favourite family recipe or simply helping with the heavy grocery bags, these visits preserve independence while keeping the "heart of the home" safe and functional.

Loneliness isn't just a feeling; it has a physical impact. Studies have shown that social isolation is as damaging to health as smoking 15 ci******es a day. For a parent living in any of our lovely villages, a dedicated companionship visit provides more than just a check-in. It’s an hour of undivided attention—sharing stories, looking through old photos, or even a short walk to the end of the garden. For adult children living far away, this is a great way to ensure your parent remains connected and mentally stimulated.

For the estimated 900,000 people living with dementia in the UK, a predictable routine is a vital source of comfort. When memory becomes unreliable, knowing that a familiar face will arrive at exactly 9:00 AM to help with the morning routine can significantly reduce anxiety and "sundowning" later in the day. We focus on "person-centered" routines—if your dad has always enjoyed a slow morning with a specific radio station and a particular brand of tea, we ensure those small details remain the same, providing a sense of safety and continuity.

If youIf you are in your 50s or 60s, you likely have a "to-do" list a mile long. When you visit your parents, does that time get swallowed up by cleaning, managing medication, and laundry? At Amora Care, we want to help you close the "care gap". By letting a professional handle the physical tasks and safety checks, your visits can go back to being about connection. You can be the daughter or son who shares a laugh and a walk in the park, rather than the "manager" of their household.

We are proud to serve the vibrant communities across Kent, from the heart of Tunbridge Wells to Crowborough, Cranbrook, Tonbridge and now Sevenoaks! Being a local provider means our carers are truly part of the community—they know the local pharmacies, the best accessible walking paths, and the village news. This local knowledge adds a layer of familiarity that is unmatched, ensuring your loved ones feel connected to the place they call home.

The transition from hospital to home is a critical window. Statistics show that around 15% of elderly patients are readmitted within 30 days, often due to a lack of support during those first few days back. Having a care plan in place before your parent leaves the ward—including help with mobility, meal prep, and monitoring recovery—can make all the difference. We work alongside families in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge to ensure the "homecoming" is a successful step toward recovery, not a cause for more stress.

It is estimated that millions of people in the UK provide unpaid care for a loved one, and many experience "carer burnout"—a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Taking a break isn't a sign of weakness; it’s a necessity for your own health. Whether it’s a few hours a week to attend your own appointments or a longer "respite" period so you can take a holiday, professional support ensures your parent is safe in their own home while you recharge. Remember: you cannot pour from an empty cup.

Falls are common in our community and, unfortunately, something we see often! So often, little changes can make a huge difference, so we want to share some tips to prevent them and trip-proof your home! Stairs, loose cords, clutter, dim lighting, and bad shoes can all lead to falls. Declutter walkways, use night lights in dark areas and wear supportive shoes with good grip. Feeling unsteady on stairs? See a physical therapist for exercises and strategies to navigate them safely. Next time you're around an older loved one's house, have a look around and make some changes to prevent falls!
