🎄✨ Hello everyone ✨🎄

As we come to the end of 2025, we wanted to share this short video reflecting on some of the moments we’ve shared throughout the year. It’s been a year filled with connection, compassion, and teamwork, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of that journey with us.

We’d also like to give a very special shout-out to our wonderful carers, who go above and beyond every single day. Their kindness, dedication, and commitment make such a meaningful difference to the lives of the people they support, and we are immensely proud of them.

See the video below :

✨🎄 Festive Cheer at Our Dementia Information Hub/Café! 🎄✨

What a wonderful Christmas celebration we had at Llangors Village Hall today! ❤️
We were joined by clients, staff and volunteers from Dementia Matters in Powys, Deb Dmip, members of our lovely local community, and of course some of our team from Silver Assist Homecare.

Everyone enjoyed delicious canapés and a warm cup of tea while being treated to the amazing talents of the Brecon Town Concert Band, who filled the hall with beautiful Christmas carols. 🎶✨
We rounded off the afternoon with a festive Christmas raffle and plenty of laughter and smiles.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and helped make this event so special.
Bringing our community together—especially at this time of year—is what it’s all about! ❤️

Wishing you all a warm, joyful, and peaceful Christmas. 🎁🌟

🌟 We’re Feeling Chuffed! 🌟

We’ve just received a lovely review and we couldn’t be more grateful! 💙

A huge thank you to our amazing team, who go above and beyond every single day to bring care, compassion, and positivity to the people we support. Your hard work, dedication, and smiles don’t go unnoticed — and it really shows in the feedback we receive.

It’s moments like this that remind us why we do what we do, and why we’re so proud of our Silver Assist family. 💛

🎉 Happy 2-Year Work Anniversary, Neringa! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone — the wonderful Neringa has officially been part of the Silver Assist Homecare family for two whole years!

From day one, she has brought humour, kindness, and a bright spark into the lives of her customers. She has a fantastic ability to lift spirits, create genuine connections, and leave people feeling just that little bit lighter and happier after every visit.

To mark the occasion, Neringa has received a meal-for-two voucher, which we hope she enjoys very soon — and we expect a full food review afterwards, of course! 😄🍽️

Thank you, Neringa, for everything you bring to Silver Assist and to the people we support. Here’s to many more years of laughter, care, and making a difference. 🌟💐

✨ Silver Assist Homecare Christmas Party 2025 ✨

Last night we celebrated in festive style! 🎄🥂
We kicked off the evening in Brecon at the Castle Hotel for some pre-dinner drinks before heading over to Brecon Tandoori for some fun, food, and laughter 🎉🍛

It was a wonderful evening with even more wonderful company — our amazing Silver Assist team. ❤️

As we come to the end of another year, we want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to every single one of our staff members. Your dedication, compassion, and hard work throughout 2025 have made an incredible difference to the lives of the people we support.

You are the heart of Silver Assist Homecare, and we are so grateful for everything you do. 💙

Here’s to you, to teamwork, to kindness — and to an even brighter 2026! 🌟

🎄✨ A Festive Thank You From Silver Assist Homecare! ✨🎄

To all our amazing carers, clients, families, and friends within our community —thank you! We are absolutely overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity this Christmas.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been collecting donations for three very deserving local charities:
Brecon Foodbank
Brecon Dog Rescue
The Salvation Army United Kingdom and Ireland TerritoryThe Samaritans Christmas Toy Appeal

The response has been incredible. From tins and treats to toys and toiletries, your donations have created a display that is nothing short of heart-warming. (You’ll see from the photo that even Tilly — proudly wearing her Christmas antlers — was quite impressed with everything she “organised” this morning! 🐶✨)

Your kindness will make a real difference to families, individuals, and animals who need a little extra support this winter. Supporting all year round, of course — but there’s something especially magical about seeing our community come together like this at Christmas.

We’ll be delivering all the donations next week, so if anyone would still like to contribute before they go, please feel free to reach out:

📧 hello@silverassist.wales

📞 0333 188 7787

Thank you, each and every one of you, for helping us spread warmth, compassion, and Christmas cheer. Your generosity reminds us why community matters — not just at this time of year, but always.

With heartfelt thanks,

The Silver Assist Homecare Team (and Tilly!) 🐾🎄💙

✨ Carer Appreciation Evening! ✨

On Friday, our wonderful team descended on the Village Hall in Llangors for a murder mystery evening — and what a fantastic night it was! 🕵️‍♂️🔍

Full of suspense, plot twists, laughter, and great company (as always!)

Thank you to our incredible team for bringing your energy, compassion, and enthusiasm — both to the evening and to the work you do every single day. 💙

Hi Guys,

Thanks for joining us at our Dementia Interpreters sessions. Following up on that, We’d like to share some useful resources to support you in your ongoing journey with dementia care: the Dementia Dictionary and the Reading Well for Dementia booklist.

1. The Dementia Dictionary — How to Access & Use
• The Dementia Dictionary is completely free to use, available online here: Dementia Interpreter — Dementia Dictionary dementiainterpreter.uk
• On the site, you can search for actions, behaviours, noises, body language, and more — to better understand what a person with dementia might be communicating.
• If something isn’t already defined, you can submit your own observation or question (e.g. a behaviour or sound) to the community of Dementia Interpreters.
• That question then goes into the Dementia Interpreter community forum, where trained Dementia Interpreters share their lived experience, vote on possible “translations,” and collectively decide on definitions.
• Over time, the dictionary grows — because dementia is highly individual, there can be multiple possible meanings for the same behaviour, and your contribution helps make it richer.
Why use it?
It’s more than a reference tool — it’s a shared, evolving language of support. By using and contributing to the dictionary, we deepen understanding, reduce misinterpretation, and build stronger, more compassionate connections.

2. Reading Well for Dementia — How to Access the Books
• The Reading Well for Dementia booklist is provided by The Reading Agency, and was curated by people living with dementia, carers, and healthcare professionals.
• You can borrow these books from your local public library — all you need is a library card.
• If your library doesn’t have a particular title, you can often reserve it or request an inter-library loan.
• Many of the recommended titles are available in multiple formats — print, e-books, and audiobooks — to suit different preferences or needs. shop.readingagency.org.uk
• If you’re in Wales, the Reading Well scheme is fully available in both English and Welsh.
• For more information—or to explore the full list and digital resources—you can check: The Reading Agency’s Reading Well for Dementia. shop.readingagency.org.uk
Why use these books?
They offer expert-endorsed information, practical advice, and personal stories — helping both people with dementia and their carers feel understood, supported, and empowered.
If you’d like help navigating either of these resources (for example, how to submit a question to the Dementia Dictionary, or how to find a particular book in your local library), just let us know. We’re very happy to help.

Hi everyone!

As we're dusting off our tinsel and preparing for some festive fun, we wanted to reach out with something close to our hearts. Each year, Silver Assist Homecare supports a number of local charities who do incredible work in our community — and once again, we’re inviting anyone who would like to get involved to join us in giving back.

This Christmas, we are collecting donations for three wonderful local causes:

🎄 Brecon Foodbank

Brecon Foodbank provides emergency food supplies and essential household items to individuals and families in our community who are experiencing crisis. Their support ensures no one has to face hardship alone, especially during the winter months.

They are currently looking for:

Advent calendars

Long-life milk

Non-chilled fruit juice

Cereal

Squash

Tinned fruit (excluding peaches and fruit cocktail)

Tinned green beans & broad beans

Sweets & chocolate

Washing detergent

Small or senior dog food (pouches and cans)

Senior cat food

Shampoo & conditioner (including children’s)

🐾 Brecon Dog Rescue

Brecon Dog Rescue is run entirely by volunteers who work tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs across the local area. Their dedication ensures every dog receives love, safety, and a second chance — and they rely heavily on community generosity to continue their work.

They are currently in need of:

Tinned dog food

Dog toys

Old blankets

Worming or flea treatments

Leads & collars

🎁The Salvation Army United Kingdom and Ireland Territory Children’s Christmas Toy Appeal

Every year, the Salvation Army ensures that children aged 0–16 who may otherwise go without receive a gift at Christmas. This appeal reaches families facing hardship, ensuring every child has something joyful to open on Christmas morning.

They are collecting new, unwrapped gifts for boys and girls aged 0–16.
(They ask that gifts remain unwrapped so they can be safety checked, and respectfully request no replica weapons such as toy guns or knives.)

How to Take Part

We will be collecting donations until 10th December, ready to deliver everything to the charities around 15th December.

If you would like to contribute but cannot get to us — we are more than happy to collect donations from your home. Just let us know and we’ll organise a convenient pickup.

Thank you so much for getting involved and helping us spread a little extra kindness this Christmas. Your generosity goes a long way, and together we can make a meaningful difference for people (and pets!) in our community.

Warmest festive wishes,
The Silver Assist Homecare Team

🌟 Dementia Interpreter Training – Thank You! 🌟

Over the last two days, we were delighted to host Dementia Interpreter courses in both Bwlch and Llangasty.

A huge thank you to Powys County Council for partnering with us to bring this valuable training to our local communities. The sessions were well attended, and the feedback has been incredibly positive — it’s wonderful to see so many people committed to improving understanding and communication for those living with dementia in our local community.

This event was also supported by Dementia Matters in Powys who were on hand to offer help and advice. Special thank you to Carol from Training 2 Care UK Ltd who delivered the sessions.

Together, we’re helping to build a more compassionate, informed, and supportive community across Powys. 💙
