What are the benefits of mental health support at home for the elderly?
Mental health matters.
Thank goodness the world awoke to that.
That space between your ears can be friend or foe and swaps sides regularly.
Of course, we need mental health support.
Sailing through the entirety of life without the slightest dark cloud on the horizon is about as likely as winning the lottery.
Life loves a curveball.
Bereavement, the breakdown of a relationship, financial problems, trauma… the list goes on.
Mental illnesses affect a huge number of the population. Autism, depression, ADHD, addiction… they strike without prejudice.
Scientists have now discovered humans aren’t the only animals to do all this (over?) thinking. Mammals, birds and even Octopuses have cognitive abilities.
Who knew?
But I think we’ve all known for a long time that mental health support is essential. It doesn’t just save lives. It makes them more enjoyable.
Amen to that.
Pure Life Care is all about supporting the elderly community of Kent and giving them the best care and quality of life. And that includes providing practical and professional mental health support at home…
A Loved One Requires Mental Health Support at Home; What Can You Expect?
- Everyone’s mental health needs are varied. Our dedicated Mental Health Team provides the experience and empathy to support your loved one. From drug addiction to escalating erratic behaviour, our team tailors support, and identifies and implements the practical steps needed to improve their quality of life.
- Once you decide that professional care at home is the right solution for your loved one, it all starts with an assessment. This knowledge will drive their bespoke care plan and ensure it meets everyone’s needs.
- Mental health support can be critical for the elderly. Isolation makes them particularly vulnerable. The Mental Health Support Team will be active and available. Daily visits, companionship, and getting out of the house are just some of the ways we can help. They won’t just be kept in the picture. They are the picture and as such, our care will help them face and overcome their unique challenges.
- Confidence is key. Sadly, it’s easily eroded as we age for a multitude of reasons. The Mental Health Support Team is adept at helping them restore their confidence so they can enjoy a happier, and more stable and fulfilling life.
- Training and development are fundamental to the breadth of support we offer to the elderly community. For that reason, our team members all have individual mentors, undergo regular training to provide the best and most relevant care and are often working towards individual goals and accreditations. It’s great for them and peace of mind for you.
