As the festive season approaches, we want to take a moment to wish you a warm and happy run-up to Christmas. This time of year can be magical, but we know it can also bring a lot of pressure. Our wonderful founder Christine—originally from the Philippines but with many cherished years spent living in Spain—wants to send her heartfelt Feliz Navidad to all of you.
A Season of Joy, but Also Pressure
The marketing, the celebrations, and the expectation for everything to be perfect can sometimes overshadow the true meaning of the season—connection, comfort, and kindness. At FeelCare, we understand how the pressure to create a special time for ourselves and loved ones can sometimes feel overwhelming. If you’re feeling lonely, frail, or struggling with your mood, please know that reaching out for support is exactly the thing we all need to do when we feel this way.
We’re Here for You
FeelCare offers a range of home care services, from live-in care to hourly support (with a minimum of four hours). Our dedicated team is here to help you, whether it’s providing companionship and emotional support or assisting with more specialist care needs.
But support comes in many forms, and it’s important to highlight other organisations offering free support that you can turn to if you’re feeling isolated or need someone to talk to this festive season.
