Don and Sylvia’s Story

As we began our discussion, it became clear that Don’s story is one of unwavering love and support.

Not only is he a loving caregiver to Sylvia, but he is also a highly skilled chemical engineer and a cherished grandfather.

Their love story began in the most enchanting way, as Don first laid eyes on Sylvia while she was working at a charming delicatessen. After his long days at work, he would often visit the deli to grab a sandwich, and little did he know that this would be the start of their beautiful journey together. Despite the challenges that life threw their way, including Don’s work taking him to Qatar, their love persevered. Leading them to tie the knot in a heartwarming ceremony surrounded by their loved ones in Australia back in 2008. Today, Don and Sylvia find solace and happiness in each other’s company in the peaceful countryside of Lincolnshire.

Our Day With Don

To truly understand the impact of our home care service on Don and Sylvia’s lives, we visited them to hear his home care story.

Our intention was not only to gather their thoughts on our team and the service we provide but also to get to know them better as individuals. Don graciously opened up about the challenges they faced when Sylvia was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He recounted how the initial diagnosis came three years after they met, and the rapid decline in Sylvia’s health left them uncertain of what the future held. However, with the incredible support from the NHS and palliative care, they were able to navigate through this difficult period together.

Don also shared with us the invaluable care provision that was put in place for Sylvia when she first returned home from the hospital. Both Marie Curie and St Barnabas provided exceptional support, which played a significant role in Sylvia’s journey towards regaining mobility. As we delved deeper into their life with Parkinson’s, it became evident that receiving home care has allowed Don and Sylvia to create countless cherished memories. Don reminisced about one particular outing where they chased the sunset together, exploring the picturesque Wolds, enjoying a picnic, and returning home with hearts full of joy. It was a truly beautiful moment for them.

Why Don prefer’s home care 

When discussing why Don prefers home care, we were moved by his honesty and vulnerability.

He candidly shared the challenges he faces when it comes to dressing Sylvia in the morning. For him, it is a complete nightmare, but the incredible care team has made all the difference. Don fondly described how each morning feels like a fashion parade, with Sylvia choosing her outfit for the day, and the carers bringing a smile to her face.

The level of care they receive has not only helped Sylvia regain some semblance of normalcy but has also given her a life that extends beyond the confines of their bedroom.
