🐣 "We Thought Mum Would Miss Easter Again..." — How One Simple Support Plan Brought a Family Back Together

It started the way many of our calls do:

“We don’t know if she’ll make it out of the hospital in time for Easter.”

That was Amara, one of three siblings trying to coordinate care for their 82-year-old mum, Mrs. Ireti Adeyemi — a sweet, sharp, and sassy woman who’d fractured her hip two weeks before Good Friday.

The hospital was discharging her early. She needed help at home. And the children? Scattered across different cities, balancing work, kids, and late-night WhatsApps that read like panic buttons.

The Truth No One Likes to Say Out Loud

Many families face this kind of Easter.

A celebration that should bring loved ones together… instead becomes a stressful swirl of:

• Worrying who will check on mum
• Wondering if the house is safe for her to return to
• Arguing about who’s doing enough

It’s not that families don’t care — they care deeply. But care is more than love. It’s planning. It’s showing up. It’s knowing what kind of help to ask for.

So What Did We Do?

At Justintime Healthcare, our team moved fast.

• We carried out a home risk assessment in under 24 hours.
• Arranged for a trained carer to support mum twice a day — with mobility, personal care, and medication.
• Installed temporary support aids around her home (stairs and bathroom).
• And — most importantly — gave her children peace of mind, knowing a professional was always there.

And yes, she made it home. Just in time to sit with her grandchildren as they painted their Easter eggs.

"Mum was glowing."

That’s what Amara told us two days later.

“Her face… we hadn’t seen her this happy in months. She was in her own kitchen, drinking her own tea, and telling my son to stop making a mess with the glitter.”

It wasn’t just a safe discharge. It was a return to normal. A reminder that with the right help, life doesn’t have to pause just because care is needed.
