Everyone likes to live in their own home. I do & I’m sure you do too. However, for older people the experience can often lose its appeal as their health declines.

- Poor physical health
- Loneliness
- Depression
- A lack of structure in their day
- Poor diet and fluid intake
What often happens then is some kind of crisis – a fall, a hospital admission…
Everyone likes to live in their own home. I do & I’m sure you do too. However, for older people the experience can often lose its appeal as their health declines.

You then may need to find a suitable care home for your Mum in an urgent fashion. This will limit your choices & choosing the wrong care home could prove even more detrimental for her overall health going forward.


We were delighted when mum settled easily and happily into her new home. Mum seems to have got involved in many things.” – Kathryn P.
In short, no. This is a common concern, with a lot of guilt surrounding it. But let me clear up some important points about this.
It is far better to find a care home that both you & your Mum will love. When your Mum comes into care at this early stage she gets looked after properly.
The care she receives at home tends to be very hit & miss. Often with 2 or 3 people trying to manage several different needs. It’s messy & priorities get missed.
At Hopton Cottage we will speak directly with Mum’s GP, District Nurses or Hospital Services to make sure all her physical care needs are sorted quickly & easily.
For Mum’s mental health needs we will speak directly with Memory Services & Community Mental Health Services so you will have nothing to worry about. The right people help Mum in the right way at the right time.
