Updates
Here are some updates from Hook Home Help.
"Amazing helpful wonderful souls. They love their job and that love shines through. Highly recommend"
A very touching new review for Hook Home Help. We have supported this client and her mother through a series of falls and time spent in and out of hospital and recovering. The same person always goes to visit and they have formed a lovely friendship.
We are providing an extra pair of hands to both generations. We help with practical tasks like transport and shopping but more importantly provide moral support to both generations. We are consistent and conscientious. We form lasting friendships through kindness and reliability.
Hook Home Help is providing emotional and practical support for people in and around Hook
Hook Home Help is back to work after a Christmas break. Or rather most of the team is but I have had flu and was not well enough to take my lovely gentleman and his bouncy dog for a walk today so my son has stepped in to help out. What a lovely day for it - bright blue skies and sunshine. I was a bit sad that I wasn't well enough to go as I watched the three of them set off together chatting happily. Our job is to provide companion care and this can be out and about or in the home, or as in this case, a bit of both. T
Hook Home Help is providing companionship and help getting out and about to appointments, eye tests and Christmas shopping
This photo is shared with permission of the model. This was one of her recent trips out to have an eye test and choose some new glasses, which she is very happy with. Hook Home Help has also taken her food shopping, to the doctors and dentist and as well as the boring essential trips, she has done some Christmas shopping too.
"She wouldn't let go of my hand that day"
Recently one of our clients had a fall at home and when Helen from Hook Home Help arrived, her neighbour had already called the ambulance. Helen sat with her to make sure she was comfortable and calm. She contacted her daughter to update her and reassure her too. Helen is calm and competent and supported everyone who was involved. She will always stay as long as is needed and as long as it takes for an ambulance to arrive.
Hook Home Help helps all the way to the end
Recently Hook Home Help had a different sort of day out as we were helping out at the funeral of one of our clients. On this day we learnt that this person was much loved and it was a delight to see photos of them throughout their lives and how many people came back after the ceremony to remember him.
