If you’ve ever known anyone who has suffered from dementia, then you know they don’t suffer alone. Dementia is a disease that weighs heavily not only on the person who has it, but also on their friends and families, as they watch someone they love become unrecognizable shadows of their former selves...

Although we are experiencing a typical cold winter at the moment, it is still very important to remember to keep your body topped up with fluids. Water is particularly important, and helps to reduce symptoms of fatigue, headaches and migraines. Water is the main component of the human body. In fact, the body is composed of between 55 and 78 percent water, depending on body size. Adequate and regular water consumption has numerous health benefits. As an added plus, it has no calories, fat, carbohydrates or sugar.
The amount of water you consume everyday plays an important role in maintaining a healthy body. Experts recommend drinking eight to 10 glasses of water each day to maintain good health.

The majority of houses and apartments here in Spain have marble or stone floors, which are wonderful in the hot months but so very cold in the winter. Laying rugs around can reduce the discomfort from the cold but our elderly relatives may well struggle and have difficulty walking on these surfaces. Remember to ensure that you remove the possibility of trips or slips by ensuring that you use non slip mats under the rugs, that all rug edges are firmly fixed to the floors. Also, take time to walk around the house/apartment with your elderly relative to ensure that they get used to the new flooring, remove any obstacles that may cause problems. Ensure that your elderly relative is wearing suitable and well fitting slippers. Please remember you can contact CWC for further advice. We also provide a home visit service to assess your property and offer advice on how to provide a safe environment for your elderly relative.

Celebrated with one of our valued customers this morning. She has been following a high fibre, high protein diet designed by one of our carers for 3 weeks now and has increased her weight by over 6 kilos. Evidence that eating three healthy and balanced meals a day can go a long way to improving ones health.

If you would like advice on how to ensure your elderly relative eats a healthy and balance diet please contact us.

We have had an interesting and valuable week away from work last week attending a training course to update our skills. Especially found the sessions on Dementia, very informative. Also very helpful to swap information and stories with other caring professionals. Have arrived back energised and ready to work.
