Resharing kind words to round off a busy week

I feel truly blessed to have found Dinah and her super team at Staffing Plus. Living four hours away from my elderly Mum is challenging, however Dinah has been able to take some of the anxiety and worry away because I know Mum is now being well looked after and is in very good hands.

The Government’s 2025 Budget has placed headlines firmly on the £300 million committed to NHS technology.

Investment in digital tools, diagnostics and innovation is welcome. But it raises a familiar and pressing question: where does this leave social care?

Because while the NHS will see a surge in targeted tech funding, social care continues to operate within a settlement that many in the sector describe as stretched, fragile and unable to match the growing level of need across the country.

The 2025 Budget is a moment of progress for digital health. But social care must not be left behind.

Investing in social care isn’t an optional extra – it is the bedrock of a functioning health system.

New research suggests people in the UK want more connection with older generations 👵👴🦻 Around one in six adults said they speak to someone aged 70 or over ‘occassionally’ or ‘not at all.’

For 16-24 year olds, that number rose to more than one in four.

Only 8.5% of younger people said they have ‘regular’ conversations with older adults.

A national survey, conducted by Censuswide on behalf of the charity Adopt a Grandparent, showed thousands across the UK are eager to learn from older generations.

Adopt a Grandparent found than one in five of its survey respondents assumed they had “little in common” with older generations 👵👴🦻

The research was conducted with a sample of 1,000 nationally representative UK general respondents. The survey took place between 24.07.2025–28.07.2025.

“Dinah and her team at Staffing Plus cared for my uncle as he was suffering from terminal cancer. My uncle did not want to move to a care home, so Dinah arranged an excellent care package for him at his own bungalow. Dinah and the care staff looked after him 24 hours a day working closely with the palliative care team“

We step in as professionals to allow you to do this, safe in the knowledge that our support is carefully planned, reliable by trained carers and/or nurses - with specific skillsets that will enhance the lives of everyone in your family, while allowing you to live and work in your usual ways.

The weather is very striking this week, but older adults may have certain chronic medical conditions that make it harder to stay warm:

* Diabetes can prevent blood from flowing normally to provide warmth.
* Thyroid problems can affect the body’s ability to maintain a normal body temperature.
* Parkinson’s disease and arthritis can make it challenging to put on more clothes, use a blanket, or get out of the cold.
* Memory problems can cause a person to forget to take precautions for staying weather-safe, such as wearing appropriate attire.

Some medications can affect body heat, too
