Caring for someone can be overwhelming.
Suddenly you’re faced with all sorts of questions: How do I prevent falls? What if my mum starts having eating difficulties? Where can I find funding for carers? What should I do when my mum living with Dementia keeps asking me the same question?
At Reach by Nightingale Hammerson, we take the guesswork out of caregiving. Our goal is to reduce anxiety and empower individuals, families, and caregivers with the confidence to provide effective care at home.
For over 180 years, Nightingale Hammerson has been at the heart of exceptional residential care in England. Across our two care homes, we proudly offer a wide range of services for older Jewish people, including residential care, dementia care, nursing, rehabilitation, respite, and palliative care.
But times are changing. More people are choosing to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. While staying at home offers comfort and familiarity, it can also bring new challenges. Many families step into caregiving roles without the training or experience to navigate the complexities of ageing leading to stress, uncertainty, and tough decisions.
To support this growing need, we created Reach by Nightingale Hammerson, a free digital platform designed to provide individuals and caregivers with expert-backed advice for ageing well at home. In a world overflowing with information, Reach acts as a trusted one-stop shop, delivering clear and practical guidance exactly when you need it.
Our practical advice covers a range of topics, including:
- Mobility: Tips to support daily movement such as climbing the stairs or getting into a chair
- Sleep: Guidance on night time routines, addressing sleep problems, and creating a restful environment, along with other helpful resources
- Nutrition: Advice on staying hydrated, using adaptive tools, and much more to support healthy eating habits
