Winter can be especially challenging for people living with dementia. Thanks to the Alzheimer's Society for these helpful reminders on staying safe, warm and well this season.💙❄️

If you think a regular check-in or some practical support at home could make things easier, our local Helpers are here to help.

Please give us a call on Bedfordshire 01234 386807, or Buckinghamshire 01908 024024 to speak with one of our friendly team members today. We are here for you.

With temperatures forecasted to drop across the UK over the next few days, it’s important to make sure that we’re looking out for our loved ones living with dementia.

Winter can be a particularly difficult time for somebody living with dementia. The bad weather and colder temperatures can bring specific challenges, and can sometimes make symptoms temporarily worse.

They may not always be able to communicate that they are cold – or they might not even recognise it themselves.

Perception issues can also make it difficult for someone with dementia to see icy patches on a pavement or understand that a surface may be extra slippery.

So make sure to check in regularly on loved ones, friends and neighbours living with dementia, and follow our useful tips to help support them through the winter.

We had a great time attending the Carers Community Partnership Group with Healthwatch Central Bedfordshire. It was a brilliant afternoon of conversation, collaboration, and reflection - and we especially loved the inspiring workshop from the amazing Suzi Payton💛🌈✨

It’s always encouraging to see so many people working together to improve support for carers and our wider community.

There’s something special about a wander around Bedford Flea, Affordable Art & Local Produce Market - chatting to stallholders, finding hidden gems, and soaking up that great community buzz. It’s one of those simple pleasures that makes our town feel like home.✨

For some people, getting out and about can start to feel a little harder. That’s where a Good Life Sorted Helper can make a real difference - offering friendly companionship, a helping hand, and gentle encouragement to keep doing the things you love, your way.💛

If you’ve been feeling less confident about getting out, a Helper could be just the support you need this winter.

Visits start from just £20 per hour, and all of our Helpers are local people who want to give back to their community (and of course are thoroughly vetted and DBS checked!)

Please call us on 01234 386807 to learn more about our Helpers across Bedford, and to arrange your first visit for FREE, today! 🌿🌈

As we paused this morning for Remembrance Day, we reflected on the courage and sacrifice of those who served, and continue to serve - to protect the lives and freedoms we have today.

Walking along the Bedford Embankment, it was so moving to see the beautiful wreaths and the thoughtful touches from our community, including the incredible knitted postbox topper that brought smiles to everyone passing by.

Thank you to all who continue to honour and remember.
We will remember them. 🌺

We had a fantastic time at the East Bedford PCN Coffee Morning today, what a great turnout!☕✨

It was wonderful chatting with so many people about how a Good Life Sorted Helper can provide friendly, practical support at home. Events like these are such a brilliant way to connect face-to-face with residents and local organisations all working towards the same goal - helping people stay happy, independent, and connected.

We especially loved sharing a table with our good friends at FLAG Bedford💛See you all at the next one!😊

We love this!😍💙✨

Some of you may have already seen last week’s DIY SOS featuring young Rafi Amer - the grandson of one of our wonderful Helpers, Lynn. 🌟

The episode followed the transformation of Rafi’s home after a sudden illness left him with brain injuries and in a wheelchair. Thanks to hundreds of volunteers, his house was adapted so he could come home again - a true story of hope and community spirit.

Lynn was there too, helping on site and even serving drinks to volunteers (we love that photo, Lynn!). She continues to spread the word about Good Life Sorted, sharing our mission at events.

A huge thanks to Lynn for being such an inspiring part of our community and sending all our love to Rafi and his family as he continues his amazing recovery. 💛
