Moving into a new care home setting can be unsettling for both the individual and family with many emotions and loose ends.  In our experience, when a person has been living in their own home for a number of years, with the accumulation of many personal possessions and memories, a move can seem an extremely daunting and stressful process.  Sometimes a family support network is not readily available or they are too emotionally close to step back to see the bigger picture..

Senior Care Support Services are therefore pleased to offer a sensitive solution in supporting a client when looking to relocate into care. This service can include the following support:

• Liaising with local estate agents to maximise sale proceeds of the property using a proactive approach
• Liaising with local solicitor in respect of conveyance of the property.
• Arranging for cleaning of property
• Arranging for disposal/sale of unwanted house contents following discussion with client
• Arrange a removal company service.

Additional Services to help individuals and family members

Senior Care Support Services realise that a move into a care home does not necessarily complete the whole picture for a family or individual. We understand that families have busy lives, other commitments on their time or just don’t live locally.  We have therefore introduced a support service that may help you in taking away some of the pressure and stress trying to juggle your busy life.

Our range of services are flexible and we would be happy to discuss the level of support that you require in looking after the needs of your friend or family member living in care.

The following may give you a flavour of the type of support that Senior Care Support Services can offer to an individual moving, or already in a care home setting. Especially useful if no family, or family live away or abroad.

• Prior to move in – accompanied visits to care home of choice to enable the potential resident to enjoy social activities, events, hairdresser, etc. This may help smooth the transition from home to care home when the time is right.
• Following a move into care – regular unannounced visits based on client’s requirements to ensure care and social needs are being met by the care home. This may be on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis.
• Social visits to client within the care home setting. This service can be flexible and may be taken up when the client’s family have other commitments or are on holiday.
• Ad hoc Shopping Trip for resident based on client’s needs, i.e. toiletries, clothing, incidentals, etc.
