Rosalind’s Experience with Aurum Home Care

At Aurum Home Care, we believe exceptional home care goes beyond practical support. It’s about compassion, dignity, and truly understanding the person behind the care. Rosalind’s story highlights why person-centred home care makes such a meaningful difference.

Rosalind lives with macular degeneration, a condition that affects her vision and daily independence. Like many people receiving care at home, this has brought changes to how she navigates her world. Yet throughout these challenges, Rosalind’s warmth, honesty, and resilience shine through.

In the video below, Rosalind shares her experience of the care she receives from the Aurum Home Care team. She speaks openly about how supported and reassured she feels, and how much it means to have carers she can rely on — not just for help, but for genuine human connection.

Putting People at the Heart of Home Care

Person-centred care means recognising that every client is unique. For Rosalind, this means care that adapts to her needs, respects her routines, and allows her to remain comfortable and confident in her own home.

Rather than focusing solely on her condition, our carers focus on Rosalind as a person — listening to her, communicating clearly, and offering reassurance where it’s needed. This approach is especially important for people living with sight loss, where trust, patience, and understanding are essential.

Rosalind’s experience shows how compassionate care can help reduce anxiety, build confidence, and support independence, even when living with a long-term condition.

The Difference Compassionate Care Makes

Compassionate home care has a powerful impact on wellbeing. Feeling listened to and supported can make everyday life feel more manageable and far less isolating. Rosalind highlights how consistency, kindness, and respectful communication help her feel safe and valued.

This is why compassionate care isn’t an “extra” — it’s fundamental. When care is delivered with empathy, it strengthens relationships and improves quality of life for the people we support.

A Reflection of Our Care Team

Rosalind’s positive experience is also a reflection of our dedicated care team at Aurum Home Care. Our carers are committed to delivering high-quality, personalised care with warmth and professionalism. They take the time to build relationships, understand individual needs, and provide support that feels reassuring rather than intrusive.

We are incredibly proud of our team and grateful to clients like Rosalind who are willing to share their experiences and help others understand the value of compassionate, person-centred home care.
