Jenni's Help from the Heart

Now that's how to spend a Tuesday afternoon! Enjoying a gorgeous afternoon tea with one of my clients.

Celebrating 6 years of business and more importantly, 6 years of friendship.

This doesn't happen very often, but from the week commencing 28th September I have a few hours becoming available.

If you or a loved one are looking for assistance in and around your home, please do get in touch.

Please note: these hours are not solely for cleaning, they are to help people live independently.

Please share if you think you may know someone who could use my help.

My job is such a privilege. I feel so blessed to do what I do.

I get to choose my clients. Those clients, and their families, become friends. Sometimes those friends need more than I can offer them, and that's ok. I always want what is best for them.

One of my clients has recently gone into a home. I went to visit him today. He's so happy there and that makes my heart happy. No matter where they are, they will always be my friend.

Thank you to my clients family for these gifts of appreciation.

Thank you to those who trust me to look after their loved one's. The honour is always mine x

What a week!

Never known heat like it and I pretty much had to adapt every single working day to keep my clients and myself safe and well, but we made it to Friday fuelled by litres of water and ice lollies!

Now it's time for me to take some time off to spend some quality time with my family. I'll be back recharged and raring to go on Wednesday 8th July.

Until then, look after yourself and your loved one's.

With a severe weather warning issued for the West Midlands for Wednesday and Thursday, here are some key points to keeping elderly and vulnerable people safe:

Hydration is key. Drinks should be offered/given on a regular basis. People naturally lose their thirst sensation as they age so dehydration is a very real possibility.

Foods such as watermelon, cucumber or light salad are a great idea to add into diets as they are water rich. Ice lollies are a great way of bringing the body temperature down quickly and gently.

Keep rooms cool. Close curtains, blinds and windows that face the sun. Windows can be opened in the evening if the temperature drops.

Use fans and air conditioning strategically through the house. A damp cloth or flannel placed on your loved ones neck can be equally as effective in keeping cool.

Most medications should be kept under 25°C so consider putting them in the fridge in severe heatwaves.

Avoid taking elderly and vulnerable people out in the peak hours of sunlight. This is normally between 11am - 3pm, but should be assessed on a daily basis.

Make sure loose clothing made of cotton or linen is worn. SPF 30 - 50 should always be worn if you loved one does need to go out in the heat.

Confusion, dizziness, cramps, sudden mood changes are all signs of dehydration.

Heat exhaustion can quickly turn to heat stroke in the elderly. If you loved one is showing signs of distress in the heat, move them into a cool space. Offer them a cool drink immediately, remove any extra clothing, apply a cold flannel to their neck if possible. If in doubt about their condition ring 111 for advice. Should they lose consciousness, please call 999 immediately.

Please ensure you are checking in with elderly or vulnerable relatives and friends to ensure their safety over the coming days.

Take care and stay safe,

Jenni x

In the running of my business and in my personal life, it's so important for me to support my local community.

So when I was asked to help create a beautiful space for Halesowen in Bloom, as part of the Aaron Tonks - The Property Guy team, I jumped at the chance.

That's why on Monday evening I was sat on a pavement in Halesowen Town Centre picking moss out of a wall! 🤣😂 It's very much a work in progress at the mo, but can't wait to share the finished results with you.

I'm sharing this new business for a friend who lives down my road and who I have known for over 10 years.

The owner of the business, Dave, is reliable, kind, hardworking and very, very trustworthy. I don't recommend anyone lightly, but I would definitely recommend Dave.

He has a passion for gardening and has taken the big step of turning a hobby into a business. One that I know will be a success.

I want to show him my support as he starts this new venture, so please like or share his page, if you know someone that might be able to utilise his skills.

Mow and behold offer garden maintenance services in Halesowen and surrounding areas.

For those who have been following me for a while you'll know I love walking and I love raising money for the breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!

I first trekked with them in 2024, completing 100km over 5 days. It was magical. It was tough. It was life changing. Last year also saw me walking a half marathon with them.

The charity and their ethos have truly captured my heart and I'm very proud that I am now a volunteer ambassador for them, spreading their chest checking message wherever I can.

Being a volunteer ambassador means I get to see the difference the money that I raise makes. That's special and a real privilege.

This week i've been talking to my clients about holiday dates and when I won't be working. So when I take some days off in August, this is why...

This year I will be climbing Snowdon. At night. Because why do it in daylight when night time makes it so much harder! Good job I love a challenge!

Training is interesting as i'm currently being hampered by a kidney stone and bursitis in my hip! 🙈 But the trek must go on, so i'm doing what I can, when I can, and one way or another I WILL complete the climb on 29th August.

Should anyone wish to encourage me to get to the top of Snowdon then here is the link to my Just Giving page. https://www.justgiving.com/page/jenni-boast-snowdon26?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

In the meantime, please remember, breast cancer can happen to anyone, at any age. Checking your chest and knowing your normal is key. Early detection saves lives x

Here's hoping you're as invested in my RSPB membership as I am! 🤣😂

My first trip to RSPB Sandwell Valley with one of my clients. I can't believe that this beautiful scenery is less than 25 minutes away from Halesowen. It's stunning, and so peaceful.

Safe to say myself and my client had a lovely time there drinking in these views, whilst enjoying a cuppa. The scenery and wildlife are incredible and the staff are so welcoming and accommodating. A definite recommendation from me.
