At Blossom, we believe the golden days of summer should be a time of joy, relaxation, and rejuvenation for everyone, including those who may require home care.
Our unique, holistic approach to care ensures our clients not only receive the very best in-home support, but also get to enjoy the great British summer come rain or shine!
To give you a greater understanding of what our amazing carers do to enable this, here are just five of the countless ways we help our clients make the most of summer.
1. Enjoying days out to the park or beach
One of the best ways to enjoy summer is by spending time outdoors, and our team always goes the extra mile to make this possible for clients.
We work closely with our clients to arrange regular outings to local parks and beaches, allowing clients who are able to leave their home to bask in the fresh air and sunshine.
Whether it’s a gentle stroll through the park where beautiful flowers are in bloom, or a relaxing day by the sea, these excursions provide a welcome change of scenery and a dose of natural beauty.
Our caregivers ensure all necessary arrangements are made, including mobility support and personal care needs, so clients can enjoy their day out comfortably and safely.
All such trips are logged in the Blossom Home Care app, allowing families to stay updated on their loved one’s day out.
2. Organising picnics and outdoor gatherings
There’s nothing quite like enjoying a picnic in the summer months – and we love arranging them and other outdoor gatherings for our clients.
As part of our wraparound support, our carers are able to prepare delicious, nutritious meals tailored to clients’ individual dietary requirements, ready to be enjoyed outdoors.
This time out from the home provides a refreshing break from routine, creating a peaceful and enjoyable environment for clients to relax and socialise.
3. Soaking up the sun for health and happiness
Sunlight is a natural mood booster and has numerous health benefits, including the production of vitamin D, which is essential for bone health and overall wellbeing.
When safe to do so, our carers encourage clients to spend time in the sun, whether it’s sitting in the garden, enjoying a cup of tea on the patio, or participating in gentle outdoor exercises. We ensure any sun exposure is safe, using sun cream, hats, and other protective measures.
The simple act of spending time in the sunshine can significantly improve mood and energy levels, so it’s important to make the most of it – especially when it may not last long given what British summers are usually like!
4. Attending family events and social gatherings
Whether it’s barbecues, weddings, or anything in between, summer often brings many family and social events.
We understand how critically important it is that clients stay connected with loved ones. It’s why our carers empower clients to keep attending these special occasions, providing transportation, mobility support, and any other necessary assistance.
Being able to actively join in with these important functions allows clients to maintain strong social bonds and create lasting memories. This is crucial for improving emotional wellbeing and happiness.
5. Ensuring comfort and vitality at home
Whilst enjoying outdoor activities is wonderful, feeling comfortable and revitalised at home is every bit as important.
Our bespoke care plans and minimum 50-minute visits ensure clients’ homes are a sanctuary of comfort, especially during the warmer months. We help with essential day-to-day tasks, including housekeeping, meal preparation, and personal care, ensuring clients feel fresh and relaxed.
When the sun is shining, we also make sure that homes are properly ventilated and as cool as possible to provide relief from the summer heat.
With Blossom’s bloomin’ good care, you can always feel confident that you or your loved ones are able to feel comfortable and cared for, no matter what the British summer has in store!
