Chasing Care in your local community - homecare, live in care, nursing home, residential care homes Apr 21, 2023
Understanding care options for your loved one. Live in Care as an alternative to a care home explained
In this episode we speak with 3 live in care providers and explore the significant personal attachment they have to delivering care in local communities.
The conversation ranges from their personal experiences in caring for loved ones and how this personal experience gives an empathetic appreciation of their clients and service uses, through to sharing what families should be planning for long before the need for care becomes necessary.
We also look at what families should be aware of when it comes to their entitlement to local authority paid care, the stages of seeking care through a Needs Assessment and the way families and carers should be working together to ensure a person centric, individual care plan, is best delivered and monitored.
Nancy, Louise and Mercy give a rare insight into the world of live in care, the benefits compared to placing mum or dad in a care home, the nuances of staying in your own home benefitting eg mental health, and deliver a comprehensive range of guidance & support for folk at a time when many are facing a family crisis.
Listen to amazing advice delivered from the heart!

You probably need care support earlier than you think! Live longer and happier. Sarah Seaman explains
People don't get care early enough. They could live longer and be happier if they ask for help sooner.
On the Chasing Care podcast we speak to Sarah Seaman, founder of a specialist care provider Sarah's Carers, who shares her first hand experience of looking after her husband and the stark realisation that bringing in a carer was the best solution as his health deteriorated.
We explore the challenges of families on their personal journey of understanding how to best engage professional support for a loved one, when they should be thinking of doing so, and how best to introduce a carer into a family members life with compassion and grace.
A not to miss episode that touches on the heart breaking realisation that mum or dad needs care, and explains how early intervention will often allow the service user and family to better enjoy their time together without the stress or worry of inaction.
Is Equity Release right for me or just a quick cash fix? Nick Lovell of Concept Financial Services untangles the confusion.
Hi, and welcome to the Chasing Care podcast. On today's episode, we're going to be looking at financing care.
There's a lot of talk in the marketplace and a lot of advertising going on out there, just as we speak, which is trying to persuade people to release money from their properties to look after themselves.
Nick Lovell of Concept Financial Services walks through the opportunity and pitfalls of releasing equity from your property to help fund personal care as we age.
We also look at all the reasons why you may wish to seek releasing cash such as a once in a lifetime trip to Australia or being able to retire early yourself to look after an elderly relative or to help one of your children get on the property ladder!
A must listen to episode if you do not know about equity release of think that its a way to get you to pay financial advisors with little benefit.
It couldn't be further from the truth!
For the purpose of authenticity we decided to leave the ringing mobile and Bruce the dog wanting to join the conversation as part of the podcast. The podcast was always meant to be a grass roots look at the community care sector. Today its also an uncut version. Enjoy the experience!

Live in Care - what is it and should I ask for it?
Grzegorz Wrzosek of Promedica24 explains this little known home care option and helps untangle the differences between a care provider regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the unregulated introduction agencies that have no legal responsibility for the care your loved one receives.

A must listen if you or your loved one wish to remain in the familiar surroundings of their own home and lead a flexible life that you want to lead with the companionship of a live in carer.
Quality, Reliability & Professionalism.

Debunking the hiring of care workers - Jael Alfonso of Network Healthcare explains the 3 key actions for recruiters seeking to attract care assistants and support workers in community settings
Recruiting care workers is not the problem its made out to be - podcast with Jael Alfonso Do you resonate with this point that I made? "There's over 160,000 vacancies up from about 120,000 vacancies. That sounds to me an impossible problem to solve. They talk also about poor pay, poor conditions. No career progression."
How can recruitment be "fun" and the Network Healthcare business has expanded when the Homecare Associatetion and Care UK constantly tell the industry there is a massive problem with funding of care nationally?
Jael de-mistifies the local approach to attracting and retaining care assistants, support workers and live in carers in a 30 minute frank conversation about the community care sector, providers and recruitment strategies.
We unearth good people management approaches for the valuable staff care providers so desperately need and reframe the latest marketing spin of being 'carer centric' as an old and best practice style of employee engagement - nothing new!
In her analysis, Jael explores the personal values of carers, how this is essential when screening for talent, and the subtle differences between a domicilliary carer and a dedicated live in carer.
If you want to up your game in recruiting carers for your business to fill the gaps then the 3 point strategy, value driven approach of Network Healthcare, is a must listen to episode for in house recruiters and human resource leadership teams.

Chasing Care -wearable tech in care - dealing with user acceptance with Zeke Steer and Jacqui Arnold from Milbotix
On this weeks episode of the Chasing Care podcast we explore the use of new tech for the care sector and how innovation of a smart sock could be a game changer for the wearable tech industry.
Memory loss and confusion are often the first signs that a loved one has dementia – struggling to find the right words, forgetting an important appointment, or a trip to the shops that takes much longer than normal. However, behavioural changes that typically occur in the mid- stages of the disease can prove the most challenging for people providing care. Milbotix founder Zeke shares a personal story about his great-grandmother, Kath.
“Kath was a gentle and sociable person with a life-long passion for jazz music. However, several years after her dementia diagnosis, she became prone to bouts of aggression which placed tremendous strain on my family.”
Zeke spent a couple of years volunteering at a care home and came to realise that Kath was not alone in experiencing agitation. Agitated symptoms such as aggression, irritability and resistance to care are highly prevalent in care homes and a significant source of burden for care workers. Zeke embarked on a PhD in Bristol, UK to investigate whether wearable technologies and robotics could help to reduce distress and agitation. During the research, he met Milbotix co-founders Jacqui and Iveta.
Milbotix was founded to improve access to digital technologies for people with unmet needs related to a health condition. Consistent with this aim, they have pledged to donate 10% of their profits to charitable causes including research into dementia.
Dr Zeke Steer is co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Milbotix and a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Health & Clinical Research at the University of the West of England. He worked as a defence engineer for over 10 years developing expertise in electronics, software, and data science. Zeke’s doctoral research at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (Bristol, UK) investigated how wearables, artificial intelligence, and robotics can support dementia carers to better manage distress and agitation.
Jacqui Arnold is co-founder and Chief Experience Officer at Milbotix. She is a Chartered Occupational Psychologist and has worked in social care for nearly 40 years, with extensive experience providing care for older people in a range of settings. She was formerly on the board for Skills for Care, and until 2021 held the role of Dementia Lead for a social care charity in Bristol, UK. In recent years, she has held both internal and external consultancy roles specialising in dementia.
