We can provide much needed respite for YOU the carer

The quotes below are from two leading dementia organisations. They both highlight how difficult caring can be. They emphasise the need for having a break from the rigours of being a carer for someone with dementia and alzheimer’s. Our clips can do just that. We have found that the people living with dementia are happy at times to watch our clips themselves. We have seen how todays favourite clip can be used in a loop shown over and over. Our clips engage the people living with dementia allowing time for the carer to recharge their batteries. This can be a time to perhaps hand over the caring to someone else while the clips are being viewed.

Calming effect

Our clips with nature provides valuable tranquil moments

We found our clips can be used to calm any stressful period. Making life for the carer much less stressed. The development, research and format of our clips have elements of carer support built into each one. So that you can at least relax a bit during your normal day. Our clips provide you with support which can improve your quality of life. It is important to protect your wellbeing and help to address the issues raised below.

Alzheimer’s Society, said:

“Unpaid carers of people with dementia, around 700,000 people, are part of the backbone of the care sector. These unsung heroes are being pushed to breaking point. They face a constant battle to support their loved one’s increasing needs. They are exacerbated by the hours they spend selflessly caring for a loved one. Carers are trying their exhausted best to give people with dementia the quality of life they deserve.

Two-thirds of unpaid carers we surveyed last year told us they desperately needed more support to protect their wellbeing. They’re worn out, stressed, and struggling to make ends meet, as many have had to stop work or reduce their working hours due to greater caring responsibilities.

The need for investment in carers’ support is more acute than ever. People must be supported properly through the introduction of measures to ensure carers are identified earlier as well as provision of respite for them, as part of any new reform plans from the Government.”

It must be remembered that the Alzheimer’s Society has not managed to provide what they advocate. Our therapy goes a long way in doing what no other organisation has managed to do. Visit our shop to see for your self what we offer. 

Age Scotland said

“When you’re caring for someone else, it can be easy to overlook your own needs. But looking after your health and making time for yourself can help you feel better and more able to cope with your caring role.
Caring for someone with dementia can lead to feelings of guilt, sadness, confusion or anger. Unlike other conditions, it can be difficult to share these feelings with someone with dementia, leaving you feeling very isolated.

It’s important to take a break from care if you need one. This is known as respite care.
Caring for someone can be a positive experience. But it can also mean you feel a range of difficult emotions towards the person you’re caring for. You might feel sadness or guilt – or even anger at times – as you do the best you can to help them.”

The above statements will not be new to you.
