Elderly models sought for new care campaign WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Man and woman wanted for job
TWO older models with a twinkle in their eye are being sought to become the f ace of a Horndean-based care company.
An opportunity for an elderly man and woman to model for In Home Care Ltd will see the chosen youngat-heart people enjoy a fun photoshoot and become the face of the business, which provides care locally to people in Havant, Waterlooville, Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport.
No experience is needed for the keen posers, and they will get to take home their favourite framed photo from the day.
Director Claire Simmons said: ‘What I’m looking for is just a twinkle in the eye. You see some older people and you can see they have got so much left to give and they have got that cheekiness.
‘We want to give people hope that if they want to do something but can’t, we’ll help you go through those battles. We want a model that represents that.
‘What we’re trying to do is represent the most positive aspects of the worst parts of your life. Nobody wants to have care, they would prefer to be independent so it’s trying to break down that stigma.’
In Home Care Ltd was started by Claire and her business partner Paul Reynolds nearly nine years ago, after the pair both had family members who needed care and they couldn’t find a good fit.
Claire, from Langstone, said: ‘It was started out of necessity as our own family members weren’t getting the care they needed. We hadn’t come from a care background so we didn’t have a clue about what was available.
‘We wanted to be bright and fresh. We’re here to enhance your life and not just put up with you when you’re going through your worst moments ever.’
