As temperatures rise across Bedfordshire this summer, GoodOaks Homecare Bedford is taking extra steps to support the wellbeing of its dedicated care professionals while they continue caring for people in their own homes.
Summer wellbeing packs for our Bedford team
The Bedford-based homecare provider has introduced a thoughtful summer wellbeing packs Bedford initiative to help care professionals stay cool, hydrated and comfortable while travelling between visits and supporting clients across the community.
The packs include bottled water, refreshing wipes, tissues, snacks and portable fans, alongside personalised thank-you notes recognising the compassion and dedication shown by care professionals every day.
For teams providing visiting care and live-in care, warmer weather can bring additional challenges, particularly when travelling between appointments or supporting older and vulnerable people during periods of high temperatures.
Shaz Islam, Company Director of GoodOaks Homecare Bedford, said:
“Our care professionals work incredibly hard throughout the year, often going above and beyond to support clients and their families. During the warmer months, we want to make sure they feel appreciated and supported while they continue delivering outstanding care across Bedford and the surrounding areas.”
“These wellbeing packs are a small gesture, but they reflect how much we value the dedication, kindness and professionalism our team shows every single day.”
Looking after those who care for others
The initiative forms part of GoodOaks Homecare Bedford’s wider commitment to creating a positive and supportive environment for care professionals, recognising that quality care starts with looking after the people delivering it.
The office is also encouraging local residents to remain mindful of vulnerable family members, neighbours and friends during periods of hot weather by checking in regularly, encouraging hydration and helping keep homes cool.
