🌹 Remembrance Sunday 🌹

Today, at Angel Carers, we pause to honour and pay our respects to the courage, sacrifice, and unyielding spirit of the brave men and women who have served – and continue to serve – our nation. Their strength, service, and dedication will never be forgotten. 🌺

We remember the lives given in war, the families impacted by loss, and the bravery that ensures our freedoms.

Remembrance Day – 11th November – marks the anniversary of the Armistice which ended the First World War (1914 – 18). At the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month, a minute’s silence is observed and dedicated to those soldiers who died fighting to protect our country.

We will be marking this day with reflection and gratitude, remembering all those who gave so much for the freedoms we enjoy today.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

Lest We Forget 🌹

🌿 It’s International Stress Awareness Week (3–7 November 2025) 🌿

This week is all about raising awareness of stress, shining a light on its impact on mental and physical health, and the importance of stress management and supporting mental health and wellbeing at work.

At Angel Carers, we believe that caring for others - and ourselves - goes hand in hand. Whether you’re a carer, supporter, or family member working alongside us, here are a few gentle ways to manage stress this week:
✨ Talk about how you’re feeling - it’s brave, not weak.
✨ Take regular breaks - rest helps you recharge.
✨ Connect with others - even a small chat can make a big difference.
✨ Ask for help - support is always available.

Let’s use this International Stress Awareness Week as a reminder to check in with ourselves, each other, and our clients - and to join the conversation about recognising, managing, and reducing stress. A small conversation today could make a big difference tomorrow. 💬

Let’s make time this week - and every week - to care for ourselves too. 💙

A big thank you to Whitehorse Training Dorset for another fantastic, hands-on session! 🙌

We’re so proud of our caring team for always going the extra mile to make sure our clients feel safe and supported. 💜

🎃👻 Happy Halloween from all of us at Angel Carers! 🎃👻

As the moon rises and our shadows lengthen this Halloween, we’re reminded of the warmth, care, and companionship that shine brightly – even in the darkest of nights.

This Halloween, we’re all about spreading smiles, not scares! As caregivers, we understand the importance of bringing comfort, joy, and reassurance to those we care for. 💛

While enjoying the festivities, let’s also be thoughtful toward our elderly neighbours and loved ones. A warm smile, a kind word, or a sweet treat can mean so much to someone who could use a little extra care and companionship.

To make the evening safe and enjoyable for everyone:
🕯️ Respect quiet hours – keep noise low near their homes.
🚶‍♀️ Mind your step – be cautious around walkways and driveways.
🤝 Offer assistance – check in if they’d like some company.
🎃 Be considerate – if there’s no pumpkin outside, that home may prefer a quieter night.
💡 Keep it safe – ensure paths are well lit and clear of obstacles.

Let’s make this Halloween extra special by extending our hearts and hands to those in need. Together, we can turn this day into a treat-filled, heartwarming celebration for everyone. 🍬✨

Stay safe, stay brilliant, and enjoy the magic of the night!
🕷️🧡 From everyone at Angel Carers 🧡🕷️

🧠💜 World Stroke Day | October 29, 2025 💜🧠

World Stroke Day is observed on October 29 to underscore the serious nature and high rates of stroke, raise awareness about prevention and treatment, and ensure better care and support for survivors.

Every day in the UK, 240 people wake up to the life-changing impact of a stroke. It can leave people unable to see, speak, or swallow.

⚠️ Know the signs. Act FAST.

The most common sign of a stroke is sudden weakness of the face, arm, or leg, often on one side of the body.

Other symptoms include:
• Dizziness or loss of balance
• Sudden difficulty speaking, seeing, or walking

If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, seek medical care immediately. ⏰

Let’s spread awareness, support survivors, and help prevent strokes together.
