As many of the people who work with Severn Vale Home Care will know, we are a family-run local home care team led by our Founding Director, Stuart Callister. Stuart is passionate about giving back to our community, celebrating excellence in care, and demonstrating the huge importance of driving forward quality standards.
Here at Severn Vale Home Care, our mission is to ensure that every family and individual across our local community is supported, cared for, and comfortable, with reliable, warm, and compassionate care on which they can depend.
We recognise that many families worry about the costs of care. They might assume they’ll have little choice but to sell a much-loved home to pay for a residential care centre, or won’t have the ability to stay independent, happy and settled at home if they or a loved one requires ongoing support.
Here at Severn Vale Home Care, we recognise that there are many misunderstandings about care options and that older people often feel that there are few routes to receiving the help they need. Many struggle to remain independent without assistance, with fears that a residential care home is the only other solution.
Imagine having to regain the ability to do something you once took for granted, walking up the stairs, popping out to the local food market, or enjoying time with friends and family. Rehabilitation care can help with this process. It is a lifeline that can help people recover, rediscover and rebuild their independence after surgery, illness or injury.
It can feel really overwhelming to recover at home. But we have some good news! With the right activities, recovering at home can be a lot easier and, in some cases, empowering. Making sure your rehabilitation exercises are tailored to you is key to not only bouncing back physically but also mentally. Whether you’re curious about home rehabilitation activities or recovery exercises, having a plan can really make all the difference.
Christmas is a time for being together, with family, and sharing some traditions.
Sharing this time with elderly loved ones can make it even more special, but it’s
especially important to ensure that the home is safe, comfortable, in order to
stay full of Christmas cheer.
For those who develop arthritis, everyday tasks that were once so easy, start to get harder, especially if the arthritis is in the hands, knees or hips. No one plans on getting old or to start suffering from Arthritis.
Each year in November Carers Rights Day is celebrated. At Severn Vale, we want to
highlight this day as an opportunity to recognise family members who provide care across Malvern, Worcester, and nearby areas who tirelessly support their loved
ones.
From the 18th to 24 November 2024 is National Self-Care Week. The theme ‘mind
and body’ aims to help people practise self-care for a happier and healthier life.
We are all guilty of making New Year’s resolutions, such as, ‘I will go to the gym
more and lose weight’. At Severn Vale, we don’t know many people who haven’t
made those New Year’s resolutions only to find that a few weeks later, the same
tasty treats have made their way back onto the daily menu.
