Bless Support regrets to inform that it will sadly be closing until further notice
Welcome to Bless Support – helping to improve the lives of the elderly, isolated and those living with dementia.
Bless Support provides support to the elderly, frail and those living with Dementia. The aim is to help you live well by bringing a ray of sunshine to the lives of people who can all too often feel lonely, anxious or depressed either because of their condition or due to isolation. Bless Support is primarily a small-scale day care service but can also offer 1 to 1 care and advice and support with regards to community information.
Jenny Chapman launched Bless Support, an independent service provider on 1st July 2016 because she believes in brightening the lives of the elderly and frail by providing trusting care, support, socialisation and friendship. She has seen first-hand how individual care can make all the difference to those whose lives are affected by dementia or other life changing conditions. Her holistic approach, professional training and years of experience give her both empathy and the skill set to improve the lives of those she cares for, in a compassionate and caring way. It is years of experience and Jenny’s genuine love of her work that led her to establish her independent service of Bless Support.
"My mother thoroughly enjoyed her days at Jenny's house, from the moment she arrived she was looked after with kindness and she had a lot of fun and laughter. Mum said that the lunch was lovely and she was always impressed by Jenny's wonderful kitchen. I always felt comfortable that Mum was being well looked after and it was with great regret that Mum had to stop going when my father's health declined and he couldn't be left at home."
"I would highly recommend Jenny for anyone needing such care as she is a fantastic support to both the patient and their family, she cares for people just like a family member and gave my mum the best care we could have asked for."
"Jenny was highly respected by the public and voluntary sector agencies that she had forged strong partnerships with and was extremely popular with the carers and clients that she cared for."
"My mum absolutely loved going to Jenny’s house. At first Jenny used to pick mum up from her sheltered accommodation and take her back to the house. Once mum moved out of borough into a dementia care home, I used to drive mum to Jenny’s each week."
"Jenny was a first class carer who's "visitors" felt like they were with a kind, cheerful and interested friend. They were made to feel welcome and secure, plus she's a really good cook."
"There would always be a lovely warm welcome from Jenny and usually the dog as well! The house is luxurious, comfortable and spotlessly clean."
"Thank you so much Jenny for all your help and advice this year." R (carer)
"Thank you for your wonderful help and support which we very much appreciate." T & D (carers)
"Thank you, the photos were brilliant! The radio mum saw at the museum brought back memories for her as it was always on in the kitchen at home. Mum is so lucky to have you and this group." R (carer)
"The pictures are great, thank you for giving mum such a lovely trip out." JK (carer)
"The high points of mums year have been her experiences with Jenny at Bless Support. I always felt that mum was safe in Jenny's hands. She was always mindful of possible difficulties and dealt with them tirelessly to provide mental stimulation and culinary delight. My gratitude and thanks can hardly express the emotions I feel. JC (carer)
What can I say except thanks so much for your generosity and kindness as well as your continued support. It's people like you Jenny that give us carers help to enable our loved ones a platform to allow them to chose and live their life the way they wish. Thank you xx JL (carer)
"Jenny is a very caring person and I was extremely pleased with the way she took care of my wife." LM (carer)
"Jenny you have provided a wonderful opportunity for my mum and I am only sorry we could not take up your service for longer; mum loved getting ready and meeting the other ladies for a fun day. Thank you so much." F (carer)
"We met Jenny in December 2016 and were immediately struck by her warmth and interest. My wife attended the groups on a regular basis and thoroughly enjoyed her "away days" with Jenny and the other ladies and it gave me a little rest too. Thanks Jenny from us both." P & I (carer)
"Lovely photos, looks like they had a great day. Thanks for all your help and support, dad really looks forward to the days out. Mum appreciates it too. Thank you." JJ (carer)
"My mum absolutely loved going to Jenny’s house. At first Jenny used to pick mum up from her sheltered accommodation and take her back to the house. Once mum moved out of borough into a dementia care home, I used to drive mum to Jenny’s each week."
"There would always be a lovely warm welcome from Jenny and usually the dog as well! The house is luxurious, comfortable and spotlessly clean."
"Mum enjoyed the company of the other service users and Jenny would always spoil them with coffee and biscuits as they arrived. Mum greatly enjoyed the home-cooked lunches. It was a chance to sit around a kitchen table, chatting with other people and with Jenny always keeping the atmosphere happy and light-hearted."
"Mum enjoyed doing the activities such as quizzes, crosswords and watching videos of musical performances and other interesting things. Sometimes Jenny would do cooking with them and mum would have cakes to bring home with her. At other times they did crafts and mum would have something to bring home such as a flower arrangement."
"Jenny is a fantastic carer. I felt totally at peace leaving mum with her for the day knowing that she would be well cared for and Jenny would keep her cheerful and occupied happily for the whole day. I think mum would have gone to Jenny’s every day if she could!"
"Jenny is a very sympathetic and helpful person with a great sense of humour. If I had any worries about mum I would discuss them with Jenny and she would give advice from her wealth of experience in caring for people with dementia. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jenny and Bless Support to anyone who is looking for care and enrichment for a relative with dementia."
"I first met Jenny at a meeting in Elderberries and was very impressed. I needed support for my husband with Dementia. He was offered a place at the active group and his time with Jenny was great- she was very understanding and had a way with P. He participated in visits to the animal sanctuary, garden centres, bowling, the driving range, cinema and table tennis etc. Thank you for the time P was in your care."
"My mother enjoyed the company and activities and meals at Bless Support. Over recent weeks her Alzheimers has progressed and her level of anxiety is such that reluctantly we have had to cancel her ongoing attendance. I would like to thank Jenny for her support and understanding during my mothers involvement with Bless Support and her ongoing advice, suggestions to help my mother, our family through the challenges of Alzheimers. I would certainly recommend Bless Support for anyone with early stage Alzheimers."
"Mum always states she has a lovely time round your place.
Thank you for making her day fun. She loves it."
"My mum really enjoyed attending the days care and I have some lovely photos of the activities Mum took part in. The care received from Jenny was excellent and I would recommend Bless Support without hesitation. The Website is very informative too!"
"I must say that Bless is a really first class day care provider in every respect, in fact it is a true gem and that is no exaggeration. My wife enjoyed her time there enormously and always looked forward to her day at Jennys. Unfortunately she had to go into full time residential care, otherwise she would certainly still be there. "
"Jenny Chapman is an extremely kind ,attentive and understanding lady with a real “feel “ for people with Dementia. I only wish that I had found her earlier. If only other establishments were as good as this, life would be a lot easier!!"
"I must say that J thoroughly enjoyed the days that she spent with you and I am sorry that they had to come to an end – you really do run a very caring service indeed Jenny – it is aptly named and I simply cannot think of anyone who could do it better.
I can honestly say my mother has enjoyed every visit she has gone to."
"Jenny is a very kind person and always made my mother laugh. I would recommend anyone to Jenny Chapman. Thank you very much Jenny. My mother will miss you dearly x"
"G really looks forward to a Monday which is so nice, thank you"
"B really enjoyed and benefited from her days at Bless Support. She always seemed to be comfortable there and engaged with the other ladies and in the activities. It was really helpful to give her such a nice change of scenery and we knew she was in very safe hands. The transport is really helpful too. Thanks to Jenny for providing such a wonderful service and always being so professional and cheerful!"
"Thank you dear Jenny for giving mum a really lovely time at Bless over the last year, best wishes, M&B"

"Many thanks for taking such good care of mum ... she really enjoys attending !"
