💚 “I’M FINE, LOVE. I DON’T NEED ANY HELP.”

How many families have heard those exact words? 🥰

Sometimes it’s said with a smile. Sometimes quite firmly!

And sometimes, even when someone is finding things increasingly difficult, they genuinely don’t see themselves as needing care.

Because to them, accepting help might feel like admitting they’re getting older, losing independence or becoming a burden.

But here’s something we think is really important.

Before trying to convince somebody they need care, find out what they’re actually worried about.

Are they concerned about strangers coming into their home?

Do they think somebody will take over everything?

Are they worried about the cost?

Or are they simply frightened that accepting a little help today means losing more independence tomorrow?

Those concerns deserve to be heard, not dismissed.

At With YOU in Mind, we understand that welcoming somebody into your home can be a huge decision.

And sometimes the most important part of that first conversation isn’t explaining what we can do.

It’s listening to what somebody doesn’t want us to do.

Because feeling listened to can make all the difference. 💚

😂 WHAT’S THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING YOU’VE EVER DONE WHEN YOU WERE HALF ASLEEP? 👀

You know those mornings when your body is awake but your brain clearly hasn’t received the memo! 🤣

☕ Putting the kettle in the fridge.

📱 Searching everywhere for your phone while you’re actually talking on it.

🧴 Nearly brushing your teeth with face cream.

🚗 Getting into the car and completely forgetting where you’re going.

😳 Walking into a room, standing there for five minutes and still having absolutely no idea why you’re there!

And the classic… turning your alarm off, closing your eyes for just another minute and waking up in a complete panic! 😂

Come on, what’s the funniest thing you’ve done when your brain wasn’t quite switched on?

It’s Friday. We could all do with a laugh! 🤣💚

💚 A CARER SHOULDN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN DOING THE RIGHT THING AND GETTING HOME ON TIME.

It’s something we think deserves more conversation in community care.

Because caring for people isn’t always predictable.

Someone might be feeling particularly anxious.

A person’s needs might have changed.

An unexpected concern might arise during a visit.

And sometimes something simply takes longer than anticipated.

But carers also have their own lives.

Families waiting for them.

Children to collect.

Appointments, commitments and time they deserve to themselves.

Both things matter.

We expect our carers to provide safe, compassionate care and to report concerns when something isn’t right.

But we also have a responsibility as a provider to make sure they know what to do when a visit doesn’t go to plan.

That means having clear communication, appropriate support and a management team that takes concerns seriously.

It means reviewing care needs when the allocated time is no longer appropriate.

And it means recognising that good care doesn’t happen by simply expecting staff to absorb every unexpected problem.

We’re not claiming that running a community care service is easy.

It isn’t.

But we do believe that supporting our carers and providing safe care to our clients should never be treated as competing priorities.

Looking after the people delivering care is part of looking after the people receiving it. 💚

And that’s a responsibility we take seriously.

💚 DOES HOME CARE HAVE TO BE PERMANENT?

Not necessarily — and it’s something more families should know.

Sometimes people need support at home for a particular period rather than indefinitely.

Perhaps somebody is recovering after an illness or hospital admission.

Perhaps their usual family support is temporarily unavailable.

Or perhaps they’re finding everyday tasks more difficult and want to try some additional help.

Depending on their needs and the arrangements available, home care can sometimes be provided on a short-term basis.

That might involve help with personal care, getting washed and dressed, meal preparation or other agreed support within the provider’s service.

And as someone’s circumstances change, their care arrangements can be reviewed.

Starting home care doesn’t automatically mean committing to exactly the same support forever.

The important thing is understanding what help is needed, whether the provider can safely meet those needs and what terms apply to the arrangement.

At With YOU in Mind, we discuss people’s individual circumstances and what support we can realistically provide.

Because care should be planned around the person, not simply around a fixed routine. 💚

💚 SOME DAYS WE’RE NURSES. SOME DAYS WE’RE BUSINESS OWNERS. MOST DAYS WE’RE ABOUT FIFTEEN DIFFERENT THINGS! 😂

When Hannah and I decided to start With YOU in Mind, we knew there would be a lot involved.

But I don’t think either of us realised quite how many different hats we’d end up wearing!

One minute we’re discussing someone’s care needs.

The next we’re sorting a rota, interviewing potential carers, checking documentation, answering enquiries or trying to work out why something that worked perfectly yesterday has suddenly stopped working today. 🤣

Then there’s recruitment, training, assessments, supervision, finances, policies, quality checks and everything else that comes with running a regulated care service.

And somewhere amongst all that, we still need to remember to eat lunch! 😂

But here’s the thing.

We genuinely love what we’re building.

Not every day is straightforward. Some days are exhausting, some are frustrating, and some make us wonder how we’ve managed to fit everything in.

But then we hear something lovely from a family, see a carer growing in confidence or welcome somebody new into our service.

And it reminds us exactly why we started.

We’re learning, developing and building something we’re incredibly proud of.

And we’re doing it together. 🥰💚

It’s the 5th of November, and we’re curious where everyone stands!

🍬 Parkin, bonfire toffee and something lovely to eat

☕ A cosy night indoors with a brew

Or are you just counting down until the fireworks stop? 😂

What’s your Bonfire Night tradition — or do you give it a miss altogether?

Let’s hear it, Barnsley! 💚👇

💚 BARNSLEY… WHAT’S ONE LOCAL BUSINESS YOU THINK DESERVES A BIG SHOUT-OUT? 🥰

We all know somewhere that deserves a little more recognition.

It might be a lovely independent café.

A hairdresser who’s been looking after your family for years.

A little shop with the friendliest owner.

A brilliant local tradesperson.

Or a small business that’s gone above and beyond for you.

Running a local business ourselves, we know how much it means when somebody recommends you, leaves a lovely review or simply tells someone else about the service they’ve received.

So tonight, we’re giving our lovely Barnsley community the spotlight!

Tag a local business you think deserves some appreciation and tell us why! 👇💚

Let’s fill the comments with some positivity and support for the people working hard in our community. 🥰

💚 DOES YOUR LOVED ONE SAY THEY’RE EATING PROPERLY… BUT YOU’RE NOT SO SURE?

It’s something families can understandably worry about, especially when they don’t live nearby.

Mum might say she’s had her dinner.

Dad might insist he’s eating absolutely fine.

And sometimes they genuinely believe they are.

But perhaps you’ve noticed food going untouched, the same things being eaten every day or a fridge full of items that have gone out of date.

There can be lots of reasons why somebody’s eating habits change.

Shopping might have become difficult.

Standing to prepare meals might be tiring.

They may have lost interest in cooking for one.

Or there could be a health-related reason that needs further attention.

It’s important not to make assumptions.

At With YOU in Mind, where it’s part of someone’s assessed care needs, our carers can support with meal preparation, drinks and eating and drinking.

We can also recognise and report concerns so they’re followed up appropriately.

Because good nutritional support isn’t simply about putting a plate of food in front of somebody.

It’s about understanding what they enjoy, what they can manage and whether their needs are changing.

And when concerns arise, making sure the right people know. 💚

💚 FROM HER MATRON’S DRESS TO HER ASSESSMENT DRESS… A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS! 🥹💚

Today is a very special day for With YOU in Mind Community Care.

After an incredible 27-year career in the NHS, Hannah has officially hung up her NHS uniform and is now working full-time in the business we started together. 🥰

And what a career she’s had!

From the many patients and families she’s supported to the colleagues she’s worked alongside, the teams she’s led and the difference she’s made along the way.

The NHS has been incredibly lucky to have her.

Hannah is one of those nurses who genuinely cares. She’s knowledgeable, compassionate, dedicated and never afraid to stand up for what she believes is right.

And now, after years of giving so much to her NHS career, she’s bringing all of that experience, passion and determination into something we’ve built together.

From Matron Hannah to our very own Hannah at With YOU in Mind. 💚

The uniform might have changed, but the nurse underneath it certainly hasn’t.

I’m so incredibly proud of you, Hannah.

We’ve talked about this dream for such a long time, and now here we are, actually living it!

We’ve already achieved so much together, and I genuinely cannot wait to see what comes next.

The NHS was lucky to have you. Now it’s our turn. 🥰💚

Here’s to your next chapter, Hannah — and to everything we’re going to achieve together!
