All these things combat the onset of disorientation associated with memory loss.

Loneliness is clearly one of the biggest issues affecting the elderly, but if your loved one is relatively independent the use of MrHandyPro services will add to the companionship needs that are important to ageing at home.
Emotional Burden
MrHandyPro is aware that one of the less talked about things is the emotional cost elderly relatives can have on the rest of the family, the major concern most family members have is a feeling of guilt, fear and resentment, but knowing your relative is in their own home which is safe, secure and more dignified can go a long way to alleviating those emotions and concerns. Every individual has different needs and preferences, MrHandyPro recognizes the most important thing is to address those needs with sensitivity and care.
Personalised Care
The care home setting will not allow for personalised care as staff have multiple people to concentrate on at any one time. MrHandyPro is completely bespoke and flexible our Handymen ensure that the work is tailored to each individual needs and can adapt as these needs change, be it moving furniture around to fitting a TV on a wall for easier viewing. MrHandyPro will detail a plan of action which can be adapted as on-going needs change. Prevention is the key to a healthy living environment.
