33 years married ❤️ I wonder if we’ll make it to 73 years like a fabulous couple I’ve just supported with their downsizing move!

In between work and caring duties today, we managed to grab a lovely quick lunch Wolds Wine Estate, a treat from my Mum for our 33rd wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary to us ❤️

How do you support your well-being?

We hear or read about the importance of looking after our well-being and the benefits of mindfulness practices.

The advice is often centred around getting out in nature, nutrition, being active and social connection.

I like to promote ‘well-being in the home’ and that’s exactly what I was doing again last night.

Another local WI group, this time in East Bridgford, Nottinghamshire. Probably my biggest audience of 45 lovely ladies.

It gave me a boost to receive some lovely feedback especially as I was a bit tired after a long day working on top of an early morning panic call from my Mum who has just been discharged from hospital.

‘ All our members thoroughly enjoyed your talk and I think we are all starting our decluttering journey. It was a fabulous evening’

‘Thank you for a great meeting last evening. Lots of good hints and amusing anecdotes - very, very enjoyable’

If you belong to a group, community or workplace that would like to book this talk, feel free to contact me.

I met with My Care Coordinator a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the unique service they offer to individuals and families.

I’ve already identified two clients who could benefit from their services.

One in particular is a client in her late 70’s with a son who lives in residential care. I know she worries deeply about him and still does as much as she can for him with days out and time spent with her at home but she knows one day that will change.

Another client may find this a useful service for their elderly parents as they had plans in their retirement to travel. This may give them peace of mind to continue with their travels knowing support is right there when needed.

Sharing in case any of my followers may find their service of interest.

When the Unexpected Happens 💚

What if something suddenly changed in your family tomorrow?

A fall. A hospital admission. A diagnosis you weren’t prepared for.

In those moments, it can feel like everything lands on your shoulders at once.

Would you know who to call?
What support is available?
Or how to put the right care in place quickly?

These situations are emotionally draining and often come without warning in already busy and stressful times.

That’s when having the right support around you makes all the difference.

My Care Coordinator helps you navigate the unknown, so you’re not left trying to piece everything together in a crisis.

A new client booked in this week for downsizing support. Here’s a little about why he reached out.

I used to be a strong, fit man…

‘Sorry to bother you. I am 77 years old’ was how his messsge began.

He went on to explain that he was looking to move, to downsize but needed help to sort his house as it isn’t market ready. He wants Estate Agents to see it at its best.

I went to meet him for an initial consultation and came away feeling sad. He admitted his home is now affecting his mental health.

He was an airline pilot, a career he loved that took him all over the world until a health issue meant his license was rescinded. He then became a magistrate but has now retired.

He looked sad as he told me his life story.

Divorced later in life, moved from a large family home to his current home but overfilled it with furniture and belongings from the larger home thinking he’d get it all sorted but that didn’t happen.

A decade later, overwhelmed and frustrated about his home and his health, wondering when and where the once strong, fit man had disappeared.

I’m happy we have mapped out a plan, lots of decluttering work initially and identifying some items that have a value that can be sold privately or at auction.

We’ll then look at rightsizing to find this man again, a new home where he can live hopefully in better health with a new zest for life.

I’m looking forward to providing practical, hands on assistance and organising everything to make this move a positive experience.

I wish more people knew about moving and organising services to help overwhelmed later life home movers with the practical and emotional challenges of moving later in life.

I also wish more men would ask for help!

An inspiring little story
for all of us! I definitely need to add a little more exercise into my week!

How incredible is this? 🥰 I got this beautiful and inspiring email from Irvine and Rosie from Co Down, Northern Ireland 💙

“At 94 and 88 years old we do your exercises regularly. They are great and we just want to thank Joe SO much!

We live in Co Down, N Ireland and usually set up the iPad and go through Joe’s exercises three or four times a week (but only one set!). It was during Covid that we discovered these great ideas for keeping fit and we have rated them highly ever since! Normally we do our exercise late afternoon or evening.

We really do feel the benefit after doing them. I notice the blood circulation is buzzing afterwards! Irvine usually checks his heart rate and oxygen on his little monitor and is always impressed with the good result.

We think that we need to keep moving at the grand old age of Irvine’s 94 years and my coming up to 88 years in August. We also have 4 lovely daughters (and 5 grandchildren) with whom we have fun and who spoil us completely!

We also make a point of walking for 10 or 20 minutes each day, and each day I make a big salad for lunch and I call it our repair kit! Please give Joe a big thank you from us! We are so grateful to him!”
