Read MoreAt Sarnia Carers, we don’t just provide support, we build relationships. Our mission is to offer compassionate care that helps people live with dignity, joy, and comfort in their final years. Recently, we said goodbye to a dear client, Mr. M, and it has been a bittersweet moment for all of us. He passed away after three wonderful years with our team, and his departure has left a profound impact on all who had the privilege of caring for him.
Read MoreAt Sarnia Carers, we’re all about bringing a little extra joy and creativity into everyday life. While many of our clients love a good jigsaw (and who doesn't enjoy that satisfying final piece?) we also know the importance of mixing things up and trying new activities to keep things fun and engaging and that’s exactly what our Carer, Maria, and her client, Mr. T, did recently.
Read MoreMary has always been fiercely independent. For years, she lived on her own, managing her home and life with a quiet grace that spoke volumes of her resilience. But now, things have changed. Age has caught up with her, and the tasks that once felt easy have become overwhelming. Her family, concerned for her well-being, arranged for daily visits from a carer to help with her day-to-day needs.
Read MoreAt our care agency, we are always prepared for the unexpected – but sometimes, things unfold in ways that truly test our commitment to our clients and each other. Recently, one of our dedicated carers found herself stuck in the UK for an extra two days due to unexpected flight cancellations caused by bad weather in Guernsey.
Read MoreA Life of Service and GraceMrs. W’s life was one of elegance and achievement. Her late husband, a distinguished RAF pilot during World War II, passed away at the age of 100, leaving Mrs. W to carry on a life full of memories and love. Despite living alone for two years, Mrs. W remained as sharp, independent, and proud as ever. Every day, we had the pleasure of visiting her three times—providing personal care, preparing meals, and assisting her to bed. Sometimes, we’d stay overnight for the companionship she enjoyed and deserved.
Read MoreMrs. X, now 92 years young, is an incredible woman whose strength and kindness continue to inspire everyone who has the privilege of knowing her. We first met Mrs. X alongside her late husband, Mr. X, when they moved to Guernsey almost a decade ago. Since Mr. X’s passing six years ago, we’ve continued to provide companionship for Mrs. X, who remains as strong and compassionate as ever.
Read MoreRichard’s story begins in Guernsey, where he was known as the only person to farm ormers, a shellfish delicacy, from the comfort of his own home in Rocquaine. His days on the sea, harvesting these precious creatures, were full of adventure, and the memories of those times are never far from his mind. Richard’s connection to the sea and its rhythm runs deep, and his tales of the ocean are full of the kinds of stories that only someone who has lived them can tell.
Read MoreOur day with Mrs. E. starts early. In the mornings, we assist her with personal care—helping her into the shower, ensuring she’s comfortable, and supporting her through the necessary steps of her routine. But it’s not just about the physical care; it’s about setting the tone for her day, making sure she feels heard and cared for. After her shower, we prepare her breakfast and check in on her medication to ensure she’s on track for the day ahead.
Read MoreMrs. Margaret, a retired teacher, was known for her sharp intellect and keen observation. But lately, she’d grown quieter, her outlook clouded by a recent decline in her eyesight. “I feel like the world’s gone fuzzy,” she admitted to Jess from Sarnia Carers during one of her visits.
Read MoreMr. Gerald, a retired bookbinder, lived in a quaint stone cottage at the end of a quiet lane. His home was cosy and filled with shelves of beautifully bound books, but in recent months, Gerald had started to feel the weight of solitude. “The days feel longer when you don’t have anyone to share them with,” he admitted to Kathy from Sarnia Carers during one of her visits.
Read MoreMrs. Edith, a retired travel agent, once spent her days planning grand adventures for others. Her home was filled with souvenirs from distant lands—a tiny Eiffel Tower, a woven basket from Morocco, and postcards from her favourite clients. But as her mobility declined, Edith found herself feeling more disconnected from the world she had loved so much.
Read MoreMrs. Vera, a retired librarian, had always been known for her punctuality and her love of order. “Time is precious,” she often said. But lately, time had begun to feel more like an endless stretch than a valuable resource. Without her bustling library to manage, Vera found her days long and unstructured.
