COVID-19 and it’s business as usual

May 3, 2020 by Georgie Rockman Leave a Comment

Our amazing team are still out there caring for our clients. Unfortunately, as you will be aware from watching or listening to the news, the limited supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is proving to be a huge problem across the country for the entire care sector. 

Clients, staff and local businesses have been busy sewing face masks, donating fabric, and providing help and support during this unprecedented time.

Oakham School in partnership with Rutland Plastics have supplied us with Face shields. For the love of Scrubs are in the process of making and providing scrubs for our team.  Other businesses have come forward with gloves and masks, when our usual suppliers could not.

Without the help of the fantastic Rutland Community,  we would not have enough PPE for our team. 

Our team have really pulled together, supported each other and despite their fears have carried on bringing daily sunshine into the homes of our clients. 

We would like to send a huge THANK YOU to the everyone who has supported us. 

For Home Straight it is business as usual.

If you need support at home, please do give us a call.

Art Therapy for People Living with Dementia

June 12, 2019 by Georgie Rockman Leave a Comment

We are absolutely delighted to announce that we will be sponsoring Art Therapy Workshops for people in Rutland living with early-or young-onset Dementia. 

Rutlanders living at home with a dementia diagnosis can now take part in a programme of varied, free of charge activities, delivered by specialists in an environment tailored to their specific needs. All thanks to the foresight of Rutland Community Ventures, and sponsorship from Home Straight and Rutland Sailing Club.

Why art therapy?

There is a lot of promising evidence proving that innovative workshops of this kind can help to slow down the progression of dementia. This is particularly true of younger people with the disease, who are usually physically stronger and more resilient than older people. 

What activities are available?

Each workshop will focus on creating something useful for the home or to gift to friends and family. Some of the activities include; silk painting – using specialist paints designed to print on fabric, marbling – a beautiful painting technique, and tile making – using old methods to create designs in clay tiles.

This is something we are extremely proud to be supporting. For more information please call Home Straight on 01572 722590.
