Since starting with Springfield Healthcare, I feel like I’m truly maintaining independence in all aspects of life. My support team doesn’t impose a rigid schedule; they integrate completely into my routine, helping me keep my life moving according to my rules. I am as independent as I can be, and the carers assist me precisely when needed to ensure I keep that sense of control.
“my physical health has improved which has helped me in so many other areas of life.”
With the consistent, focused assistance of my carers, I can regularly access the gym and the equipment there. This support has been instrumental in building my arm strength, which now means I can proudly self-propel my wheelchair. That one physical change has translated into greater confidence in other areas, like feeling much more comfortable asking for assistance when I’m out in shops.
More importantly, the care is focused on life enhancement. My regular social calls are crucial for my emotional and mental well-being; getting out of the house and doing different things each week is something I genuinely look forward to. We go to the cinema, take trips, and enjoy the theatre.
A truly unforgettable moment was returning to my passion for live musical theatre. Because of my health, I hadn’t managed to see a live performance for about 15 years. Thanks to the assistance from Springfield and my carer, I finally got to see Rocky Horror! It was incredible, and I’m already planning my next theatre trip. This partnership allows me to pursue my passions and live life fully, on my own terms, every single day.
