Hello! I’m Emily, and I’m proud to be the Director of Friends Helping at Home – Somerset & South Wales.

Providing high-quality, person-centred care across North Somerset.

💷 Self employed rates | 🧡 Compassion-led support | 🌿 Local & Independent

Supporting individuals to live well at home, with dignity, comfort and friendship. I’ve always believed that the best care comes from truly getting to know people, which is why I’m so passionate about providing personalised, compassionate support to our clients. With a background in both management and direct care, I know just how important it is to create a caring, comfortable environment where people can feel at home. I love seeing how our amazing community of registered carers make a real difference in people's lives – it’s the reason I’m so committed to what we do.

🕰️ The clocks go back on Sunday 25 October 🍂

For most of us, changing the clocks is simply an extra hour in bed.

But for someone living with dementia, the change in daylight and routine can sometimes be confusing or unsettling.

As the evenings become darker, it can be helpful to think about simple ways to make things feel more familiar:

💡 Keep rooms well lit
🕰️ Keep regular routines where possible
📅 Use clocks and calendars that are easy to see
🏡 Keep familiar surroundings and routines
💙 Check in with loved ones who may need a little extra reassurance

And remember — sometimes the best support is simply being there.

If you have a loved one living with dementia and they're finding everyday tasks more difficult, we can introduce you to local, vetted self-employed providers who can offer companionship and practical support at home.

🍂💙 A little reminder as we head further into autumn...

The days are getting shorter, the weather is changing and winter is just around the corner.

For some people, this time of year can make everyday life a little more difficult. Getting out and about, keeping up with shopping, preparing meals or simply having someone to talk to can become more challenging.

That’s where a little extra support can make such a difference. 🏡

At Friends Helping at Home North Somerset, we can introduce you to trusted, vetted self-employed providers who can offer friendly, practical support in the comfort of your own home.

From companionship and personal care to meal preparation, shopping, appointments and getting out and about, support can be tailored around you and your routine.

💙 You don’t have to wait until things become difficult before asking for a little extra help.

🧼💙 International Infection Prevention Week 💙🧼

Good infection prevention is something we can all play a part in — especially when supporting older people or those who may be more vulnerable to illness.

At home, simple everyday habits can make a big difference:

🧼 Washing hands regularly
🏡 Keeping frequently touched surfaces clean
🤧 Covering coughs and sneezes
🧻 Disposing of tissues properly
🧺 Keeping towels and personal items clean
💙 Staying home and getting advice when you're unwell

For our service providers, good hygiene and infection prevention are an important part of providing safe, respectful support in someone's home.

It’s not about making life complicated it’s about taking those simple steps to help protect ourselves, our customers, their families and the wider community. 💙

A little care goes a long way. 🏡✨

🏡 Coming home from hospital can be a big adjustment.

Even when someone is ready to return home, the first few days or weeks can feel overwhelming.

There may be shopping to do, meals to prepare, household jobs to catch up on or simply someone who would benefit from having another person around.

We can introduce you to local, vetted self-employed providers who may be able to offer hospital discharge support and practical help at home.

Sometimes having a little support during those first few weeks can make the transition home feel much easier. 💙

💚 World Mental Health Day – 10 October 💚

Today is a reminder that looking after our mental health is just as important as looking after our physical health.

For many people, especially those living alone or experiencing changes in their independence, having regular companionship and connection can make a real difference.

Sometimes support can be as simple as:

☕ Sitting down for a cup of tea and a chat
🚶 Going for a walk together
🛒 Popping to the shops
🍲 Preparing a meal together
📅 Helping someone get to an appointment
💙 Having someone there to talk to

A friendly face and a little bit of company can make someone's day feel very different.

This World Mental Health Day, why not check in with someone you care about? A simple “How are you doing?” could mean more than you realise.

At Friends Helping at Home North Somerset, we believe staying connected is an important part of feeling comfortable and confident at home.
