Why it matters

Care that feels like home starts with being understood

Many older Polish people have lived here for decades but find English slipping as they get older, or if they develop dementia. A carer who speaks Polish can reassure, explain and keep the conversation flowing in the language they feel most at home in.

Being able to say “I’m in pain”, “I’m worried” or “I’d like my tea a bit stronger” in your own language makes all the difference.

What our carers understand

  • Conversation in Polish, and help with calls to family in the UK or Poland
  • Familiar Polish dishes, cooked the way they like
  • Support to get to Mass, if faith matters to them
  • Traditions such as Wigilia and Easter kept part of the routine
  • A female or male carer for personal care on request
  • Help with letters, appointments and phone calls in English

Dementia and language

When English starts to slip

The Alzheimer’s Society explains that people who speak more than one language often lose the one they learned later first. For many older people, that’s English.

Being cared for in Polish can ease confusion, reduce frustration and help your loved one feel like themselves again.
