Pain Pals Great Yarmouth are on a Mission
Pain Pals GY is currently a small business that only helps a few people a year, we want to be able to reach and help many more.
Helping 1 person, might not help the world. But it could change the world for 1 person.
Our three core values
Providing a service that remains free of charge
Having little to no waiting times before support is provided
Having No limit on service length or return restrictions
Supporting People in Physical and Emotional Pain
We want to reduce peoples pain....
We understand that chronic pain, disabilities and mental health problems cause difficulties in almost every part of a persons life. Work, Home, Family, Relationship's, Living arrangement's, support needs, human interaction, isolation and so much more.
So many people suffer in silence and isolation, hiding the true depth of their personal problems and emotions from those around them and even those closers to them.
Supporting those who Leave Hospital
We want to make the hospital to home experience a less stressful event, prevent people returning to hospital and promote speedy recovery where possible.....
When people have been in hospital for an operation or injury that will require a long time to recover from, they will need extra support upon leaving hospital and going home. You may need to see several professionals from different departments, GP, Nurses, OT, Phyiso and cares.
Pain Pals helps by lending equipment till yours arrives, providing safety advice, coordinating all the appointments and visitors from social service, occupational therapy etc. and completing the forms for the benefits needed to pay for care.
We can offer family support and help people to understand medical conditions, medication, safe equipment use and other care needs. We can also provide free first aid training and other courses that can be helpful to those who are unpaid carers.
Some individuals live alone or have relatives far away.
Making future plans for emergencies is very important. we can help plan for an event and your needs before anything happens.
Supporting the Elderly
We want to get people the support they need before they are injured or in crisis....
Often as people get older, they naturally get more illnesses, become weaker and find it difficult to do tasks around the home. However they will often not discuss their problems with others until they are at breaking point or there has been a incident or injury.
Pain pals can assess a persons general health, safety and personal care needs. Providing a comprehensive plan to improve quality of life and increase safety. We can then help to find all the necessary items and services required.
Some elderly people will spend hours or days on the floor after a fall, when there is no emergency plan for that event.
An elderly person who has had a fall, but there are no serious injuries. Could wait up to 9 hours for a non emergency ambulance.
There are teams that can help and elderly person off of the floor with special equipment. If the person appears uninjured and safe to move the team could be with them in less than an hour. They will help them to a chair or bed where it is safer and comfier to wait for an ambulance.
If you believe our missions is something you would like to support with your time, dedication or funds we would be grateful to hear from you.
