Case studies

Case Study 1: Supporting Independent Living for an Elderly Client
Mrs. B, an 82-year-old widow, wanted to continue living in her own home but was struggling with daily tasks due to arthritis. Her daughter, living miles away, was concerned about her safety and wellbeing. Rivendell Care stepped in to provide daily visits, assisting with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and gentle exercise to keep her active. Our carers also provided companionship, ensuring she had social interaction each day. With this support, Mrs. B regained confidence in her routine, allowing her to stay independent while feeling safe and cared for in her home.

Case Study 2: Helping a Client Recover After Surgery
Mr. P, a 67-year-old retired teacher, underwent hip replacement surgery and faced a long recovery period. He wanted to avoid a lengthy hospital stay but required help with mobility, personal care, and medication management. Our visiting carers provided tailored support, ensuring he had assistance moving safely around his home, attending physiotherapy sessions, and managing pain relief. With our encouragement and structured care, Mr. P regained mobility faster than expected and was able to resume his daily walks in the park—something he had dearly missed.

Case Study 3: Specialist Dementia Care for Peace of Mind
Mrs. C, diagnosed with early-stage dementia, started experiencing confusion with daily tasks such as cooking and managing appointments. Her family wanted her to stay at home for as long as possible, rather than move into residential care. Rivendell Care introduced a specialist dementia-trained carer who visited twice a day to help with meal preparation, gentle cognitive stimulation activities, and structured routines to reduce anxiety. With our support, Mrs. C remained in the comfort of her home, feeling secure and engaged, while her family had reassurance that she was in safe hands.
