At Bentleys Home Care, we train our team in skilful integration. Our carers arrive as companions first. They chat about local history, share stories of Dundee’s jute mills or the rediscovery of the V&A. We built a harmonious relationship that doesn’t feel forced. Families report fewer clashes this way. One common tactic involves joint decisions. Let your parent select the carer’s visit times, or choose activities, like a puzzle session or light gardening. Remember, conflict arises when your parent perceives loss, so try countering it by highlighting gains. A carer might enable that long-awaited trip to the Dundee Rep Theatre. They can even ensure safer mornings with mobility aids.
