Happy 6th Birthday to KayDay! 🎉
Wow, six years! Where has the time gone?
Six years ago, during the uncertainty of lockdown, I took a leap of faith and started KayDay. It was a challenging time to start a business, especially after being made redundant from my previous home-help employer. However, a friend suggested that I set up my own company and provide support to my local community. They asked, “There must be other people in your community who would benefit from your support?”
Lisa joined me from the very beginning, and as KayDay grew, our second Lisa joined the team, followed by Julie.
Six years on, here we are! We have shared so many lovely moments, faced plenty of challenges, experienced highs, and lows, and had times when our hearts have wept. We have learned so much along the way, including about dementia, how to ensure our clients are heard when they are struggling to express themselves, and how to navigate the local care and support system. We have also learned how important practical support can be.
It has been a journey that has been both incredibly rewarding and, at times, challenging, but I would not change the memories we have made or the people we have met.
To our wonderful clients and their families, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
Thank you for trusting us, welcoming us into your homes, sharing your stories with us, and allowing us to become a little part of your lives. We have learned so much about our clients’ lives, their childhoods, what their own parents were like and the experiences that have shaped them. We feel so privileged to do what we do, and it means the world to know that we can make a difference in their lives.
KayDay has always been about more than just care and support. It’s about people, kindness, friendship and making sure nobody feels alone.
We are so proud to be supporting our local community and doing a job we genuinely love.
As we celebrate this special milestone, we would love to keep spreading the word about the work we do. If you know someone in our local community who could use a little extra help, companionship, or support at home, please feel free to share our post or pass on our details. You never know how much a little kindness or a simple recommendation could mean to someone and their family.
Here is to six wonderful years, to all the special people who have been part of our journey, and to many more years of caring, supporting and making a difference together.
From me, Lisa, Lisa and Julie, a heartfelt THANK YOU for being part of the KayDay family. ❤️

Sometimes, it is not about needing a carer. It is about having someone there to make life a little easier.

For families, knowing that your loved ones have someone who can help them prepare for the day, make sure they have what they need and enjoy a friendly chat can bring real peace of mind.

At KayDay, we provide practical home help and companionship that fits around each person’s needs, helping older people support their independence, confidence, and familiar routines in the comfort of their own home.

That is what we love to do!- help our clients stay independent, feel supported and enjoy life at home.

We support older people across Prettygate, Lexden, Stanway, Shrub End and surrounding areas of Colchester.

There is something lovely about having your favourite place to go each week.
For one of our clients, that is The Coffee House in Hatfields. We have been coming here together regularly, and it has become part of our weekly routine.
The staff now know us, we know them, and there is always a friendly hello when we walk through in. We will sit down with a coffee, cake or lunch, have a good chat, and enjoy some time together.
It is not really about the coffee and cake, although they are incredibly good!
It is about having something familiar to look forward to, seeing friendly faces and feeling part of the local community.
These are the moments we love at KayDay. Simple, everyday things that bring a bit of happiness, connection, and companionship to our clients’ week.

Does this sound like someone you care about?
They are managing at home, but some everyday things may be starting to feel a little more difficult or tiring.
Going shopping. Getting to appointments. Using technology. Getting out and about. Or simply having someone to talk to.
They may not need a carer. They may simply benefit from a little extra help, companionship, and reassurance — support that helps them feel more confident while continuing to live independently in their own home.
You want to be there for them, but with your own family, work, and commitments, you cannot always be as available as you would like. And they may be reluctant to ask for more of your time, especially when they know how much you already do for them.
That is where KayDay can help.
We support older people across Colchester with friendly, practical help that helps them stay connected, confident, and able to enjoy everyday life.
Whether it is going with them to an appointment, helping with the shopping, going out for a coffee, or simply spending time together, we are here to offer the support, companionship, and reassurance they need.
If you are wondering whether KayDay could help someone you care about, give us a call for a friendly, no-obligation chat.

A trip to the dentist can feel daunting, especially when someone is living with dementia and an unfamiliar appointment can feel confusing or unsettling.
This week, we went with one of our clients to their dental appointment, offering a familiar face, gentle reassurance, and plenty of time to take things at their own pace.
For us, it is about seeing the person, not the dementia. Understanding what makes them feel comfortable, listening to them and providing the right support without taking away their independence.
At KayDay, our companionship is about being there for the whole journey — from getting ready and travelling to the appointment, to sitting alongside our client and offering reassurance when needed.
It is the little things that can make a significant difference: patience, kindness, understanding and simply being there.

This week, we went with one of our clients to their hair appointment. A familiar routine, a friendly face, and a little time to sit back and enjoy being pampered.
As we get older, the things we once did without even thinking about can become more difficult. At KayDay, we believe our clients should still be able to enjoy those everyday moments that make them feel good, confident and like themselves.
Our companionship is about more than simply being there. It is about spending time together, having a chat, sharing a laugh, and helping our clients continue to enjoy the things that are important to them.
Because companionship can make such a difference, and sometimes, a trip to the hairdresser is about so much more than having your hair done.

Our client had bought a new microwave but did not feel confident using it. So, we sat down together, read the manual, and explored its buttons and settings.
Once we were familiar with the controls, we put our new skills to the test with a lovely, warm milky coffee. We overheated the milk the first time, but after adjusting the settings, we got it right!
For us, it is not about simply doing things for our clients. It is about showing them how things work so they feel confident and empowered to use them independently.
Supporting independence is at the heart of what we do: helping our clients continue doing things for themselves, with support whenever they need it.

A lovely trip to the Stanway Garden Centre with one of our clients this week.
We enjoyed wandering around, admiring the beautiful plants and flowers, and of course, taking time for a coffee and a chat. We could not believe they were starting to display their Christmas decorations!
It is often these simple outings that mean the most. Getting out is so important for our mental health and wellbeing, helping to lift our mood and reduce feelings of loneliness.
We love spending this time with our clients and helping to make their day a little brighter.

A trip to the hairdresser is something many of us enjoy and look forward to. As we get older, having a little extra support with getting there can help us continue doing the things that make us feel confident, comfortable, and like ourselves.

We’re here to offer compassionate support with trips and appointments, helping our clients stay independent for longer,

Another weekly shop completed for one of our clients.

Our clients can choose where they prefer to shop. This client prefers Lidl, but we’re happy to shop wherever is most convenient for them.

We can also pick up essentials they’ve run out of while we’re on our way to visit, or arrange a weekly shop to cover everything they need.

If you or someone you know could use a helping hand with shopping, get in touch to find out how we can help make everyday life that little bit easier.
