June Update!
Liverpool Cares is a community network of younger (people in their twenties and thirties) and older (people aged over 65) neighbours hanging out and helping each other out, to improve the confidence, resilience and skills of everyone involved. It’s mutually beneficial! We do this because, although Liverpool is the best city in the world, the very changes that make it such an exciting and dynamic place to live can also be isolating. If you don’t feel part of the changes, they can create a sense of alienation.

Support for Blind People

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Specialist support for blind people

Through our support for blind people, our friendly carers can help you or your loved one move around the home and carry out daily tasks. Specially chosen for their positivity and can-do attitude, our carers are also there to encourage and empower you to gain as much independence as is possible.

People are at the centre of our care for the blind. That's why we tailor our support to fit with your existing lifestyle. Our carers are there to help rather than disrupt what their customers are used to. If you need to adapt your home to help you remain independent, we can support you with this too.

A Helping Hands carer or support worker can assist with:

Safely moving around the home

Administering medication

Personal care, such as bathing, getting dressed or if you need support with continence care

Preparing and cooking meals to your tastes

Household chores, such as washing clothes, doing the ironing and vacuuming

Caring for your pets, such as feeding and walking your dog

Running errands, such as collecting prescriptions or stocking up the kitchen with food

Providing companionship, including chats over a cup of tea or joining you on day-trips

Speak to one of our care advisors today to find out more about our care options for blind people. Call us today and we will walk you through how we can help.

How can Helping Hands help with my visual impairment?

Our carers have a wealth of experience in providing care for blind people, and they receive ongoing training about medical advances and how to care for specific conditions.

Whatever visual impairment or medical condition, we'll match you with a carer who will easily adapt to your needs, supporting you with your condition as well as your personal interests.

Support if you're partially sighted and need help adjusting

If you're losing your sight or are affected by partial sight loss, you may find that you're slowly adapting to a new way of life. We can help you to adapt. Our carers will not only help you through the practical changes but also provide emotional support.

We understand that any kind of visual impairment can have a big impact on the way you live your life, which is why we will support you in using low vision aids, such as magnifiers and text to speech tools.

Support with glaucoma symptoms

Glaucoma can significantly affect your eyesight and cause problems when it comes to daily tasks, especially when you're out and about and in unfamiliar surroundings. Over time your peripheral vision may be affected and, to reduce the risk of any permanent damage being done to your eyesight, you may require surgery.

A Helping Hands carer can support you after you've had the surgery to ensure you have a swift recovery.

Support with complete and sudden sight loss

Although this will be a difficult time for you, we will always encourage your independence, should you choose to receive care from Helping Hands. And by choosing care in your own home, we can work together to come up with ways of adapting your home in a way that suits you.

While you adjust we can provide all the necessary support, whether it's medical or personal. Your Helping Hands carer will not only help you on a practical level - they will be there if you ever need to talk.

Other people are interested in...

We're here seven days a week to talk through your home care needs and find the best option for you. Call 03300376958 or request a callback and we will call you.

South Liverpool Linking Lives - Befriending Service

We are now approaching our second year and have had a fantastic year, matching 20 more isolated older people with volunteers for friendship and regular visits, and reaching a further 50 people aged over 60 in South Liverpool with our weekly activity groups and quarterly outings. As we head into our third year, we would love to share with you some info on our upcoming events …

Social Clubs

We continue to run our social clubs for over 60s on a twice weekly basis, helping older people to create friendships, explore new (or old) interests, have fun, and feel part of their community again.

We run a group from 2-3.30pm every Wednesday at Mossley Hill Church. The first and last Wednesdays of each month are social groups, where members can chat and get to know each other over a cup of tea and a biscuit (with the occasional guest speaker or one-off activity scheduled throughout the year). The second Wednesday of each month is a board game group (we have a variety of games available to play or members are welcome to bring their own), and the third Wednesday is a gentle chair exercise class to support mobility and physical health. All groups are completely free and include refreshments.

We also run a Tuesday morning group in the café at Frontline church in Wavertree from 10am-12pm for a small charge, where members can take part in different activities each week including bingo, games and craft. We also provide a hot lunch once a month and every week you’ll find plenty of tea and cake!

Anyone is welcome to just turn up on the day, or please contact southliverpool@linkinglives.uk or call me (Hannah) on 07858570301 to find out more.

Autumn Outings

We are currently planning two outing for all our Linking Lives friends, volunteers and group members.

We will be taking in some of Liverpool’s iconic sights on the Mersey Ferry 50-minute River Explorer Cruise in September, with an optional visit to the U-Boat Story at Woodside terminal.

We are also planning to get together to watch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes at FACT Picturehouse cinema in town in October. The film is open to all but is enhanced to suit the needs of people living with dementia.

If you know anyone over 60 who may like to join us for either event, please get in touch at southliverpool@linkinglives.uk or on 07858570301 to find out more (places are limited and must be reserved).

Befriending

As always, one-to-one befriending is at the heart of what we do. Our approach involves linking volunteers (who are fully DBS checked, interviewed and trained) with older people requesting regular home visits, for company and a chat. Volunteers can also accompany their friend on short local outings, such as to a cafe or garden centre together, or may wish to partake in a hobby or activity they both enjoy together. These visits often become a highlight of the week for all involved and result in huge benefits to health and wellbeing.

Here is a lovely article in the Liverpool Echo about one of the friendships we have seen develop through the befriending service and how it is making a difference: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/special-features/most-heartwarming-friendship-linking-lives-15777584

If you have any questions at all about the referral process, please do contact us at southliverpool@linkinglives.uk or call 07858570301.

We are also running a volunteer information and training evening on Wednesday 25th September for anyone who would like to find out more about what we do and potentially get involved!

Please get in touch if you have any questions at all about any of the above or about how we can support any of the individuals you work with. Also,please let me know if you do not wish to receive any further emails from us (we promise we very, very rarely send out email updates about our service).

Many thanks again for your support!

Best wishes,

Hannah
