After returning home from hospital following a fall at home, a 91 year-old Dorset man was finding it difficult to manage essential daily tasks such as washing, dressing and preparing meals.
He reached out to us for support. That same day, someone spoke with him over the phone to understand what he was struggling with and what would help. A clear plan was put in place.
Just two days later, support workers began visiting twice daily, offering not only practical help, but also encouragement and motivation to increase confidence and regain his skills.
With consistent support and determination, remarkable progress was made and over the course of just three weeks. The resident has regained his confidence, strength and independence.
