Spring is the perfect time to lend a hand to our older relatives, ensuring they can continue living comfortably and independently in their homes. Age UK West Sussex, Brighton & Hove (WSBH) is calling on families to support their elderly loved ones by helping organise their homes and gardens. As the experts in later life, Age UK WSBH offers services that make a world of difference, from spring cleaning and gardening to providing companionship and connection.

As we age, keeping up with household chores can become challenging, and clutter can pose risks. That’s where a bit of assistance can truly transform lives. Age UK WSBH provides invaluable support, offering everything from weekly cleaning and bed changing to advice on home adaptations like grab rails and walking aids. For families living far apart, their home visiting service offers peace of mind, ensuring regular, friendly check-ins.

Stephanie Matthews, Head of Independent Living at Age UK WSBH, encourages families to reach out to their older relatives this month. She highlights the importance of their services in not only assisting with daily tasks but also in providing much-needed companionship to alleviate loneliness and isolation. The impact of these services is significant, and spreading the word about available help is crucial.

The charity’s services are affordable, covering only the costs, and are often arranged by family members for their ageing relatives. If you or someone you know could benefit from these services, reach out to Age UK WSBH at 0800 019 1310 or visit their hub in Brighton.
