🎄 Day 6 – Nutrition & Hydration Awareness
Care Christmas Countdown

✨ Welcome to Day 6 of our Care Christmas Countdown!

🧠 Did you know?
Around 1.3 million older people in the UK are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition, which makes awareness and regular monitoring incredibly important.

💡 How to Support Healthy Eating & Drinking:

Offer drinks regularly: Encourage small, frequent sips throughout the day to avoid dehydration.

Make fluids appealing: Water, herbal teas, juice, squash, milk or fruit-infused drinks all help.

Include hydrating foods: Soups, jelly, fruit, yoghurt, and water-rich vegetables can boost intake.

Keep drinks easy to reach: Place cups or bottles beside chairs, beds, and in common areas.

Watch for signs of dehydration: Confusion, tiredness, dry mouth, or dark urine may indicate low fluids.

Support meal choices: Offer balanced meals, soft options if needed, and encourage regular eating.

Let’s ensure everyone we care for feels nourished, comfortable, and supported.
Day 6: Nutrition & Hydration Awareness — because wellbeing starts with the basics.

🎄 Day 5 – Learning Disabilities Awareness
Care Christmas Countdown

✨ Welcome to Day 5 of our Care Christmas Countdown!
Today, we focus on Learning Disabilities.

🧠 Did you know?
There are around 1.5 million people in the UK living with a learning disability, highlighting how important awareness, inclusion, and understanding are in everyday support.

💡 How to Support Someone with a Learning Disability:

Use clear, simple communication: Break information down and check understanding.

Be patient and adaptable: Learning may take more time — tailor your approach to the individual.

Use visual supports: Pictures, diagrams, or checklists can help with routines and understanding.

Promote independence: Encourage decision-making and allow people to do things in their own way and time.

Support regular health checks: People with learning disabilities often benefit from tailored health reviews.

Value individuality: Recognise personal strengths, skills, and preferences.

Let’s build an environment of respect, opportunity, and dignity for everyone we support.
Day 5: Learning Disabilities Awareness — because every mind matters.

Care Christmas Countdown

✨ Welcome to Day 4 of our Care Christmas Countdown!
Today, we focus on Mental Health Awareness.

🧠 Did you know?
Around 1 in 4 adults in the UK experience a mental health problem each year, making awareness, empathy, and early support more important than ever.

💡 How to Support Someone’s Mental Health:

Listen without judgment: Being heard and understood can make a huge difference.

Encourage routine: Regular sleep, meals, and daily structure help promote stability.

Promote connection: Social interactions, even small ones, can help reduce loneliness.

Be aware of triggers: Respect boundaries and recognise what may cause stress or anxiety.

Support seeking help: Gently encourage professional support if needed — therapists, GPs, or support groups.

Let’s make mental wellbeing a priority, today and every day.

Care Christmas Countdown

✨ Welcome to Day 3 of our Care Christmas Countdown!
As we move forward, each day we’re highlighting different ways people’s experiences vary and how we can provide care that truly respects those differences.

Today, we’re focusing on Physical Disabilities.

🧠 Did you know?
Nearly 16 million people in the UK live with a disability, many of which are physical, affecting mobility and everyday activities — making awareness and accessibility essential in care.

💡 How to Support Someone with a Physical Disability:

Make spaces accessible: Clear walkways, ramps, grab rails, and appropriate seating help promote independence.

Be patient with mobility: Allow time for movement, avoid rushing, and offer help only when asked.

Support use of equipment: Mobility aids and adaptive tools help people stay confident and independent.

Communicate respectfully: Make eye contact, speak directly, and always ask before assisting physically.

Encourage participation: Adapt activities when needed and celebrate different ways of doing things.

Let’s continue to make care inclusive, compassionate, and respectful.
Day 3: Physical Disabilities Awareness — because everyone deserves access, dignity, and respect.

02/12/2025

✨ Welcome to Day 2 of our Care Christmas Countdown!
Today, we focus on Autism Acceptance.

🧠 Did you know?
There are an estimated 700,000 autistic people in the UK, meaning roughly 1 in 100 people are on the autism spectrum, making awareness and acceptance vital in everyday life.

💡 Tips on Support Someone with Autism:

Be patient and clear in communication: Use plain language, speak at a calm pace, and allow time for processing.

Create sensory-friendly environments: Bright lights, background noise, or strong smells can be overwhelming — adapt when you can.

Respect routines and predictability: Many autistic people find comfort in structure; keeping consistency can reduce stress.

Use visual supports: Timetables, social stories, or visual checklists help with transitions and understanding expectations.

Listen and ask: Ask what works best for them, and respect their preferences; every autistic person is different.

On this journey of care and compassion, let’s make inclusion and respect our guiding stars.
Day 2: Autism Acceptance — because every voice matters.

Care Christmas Countdown

✨ Welcome to Day 1 of our Care Christmas Countdown!
Every day leading up to Christmas, we’ll spotlight a different awareness theme helping us learn, support, and celebrate the people we care for. Today, we start with Dementia Awareness.

There are around 850,000 people in the UK living with dementia. Making awareness, understanding, and support more important than ever.

💡 How to Support Someone with Dementia:

Communicate Calmly: Use simple, clear language and speak slowly — give them time to process and respond.

Use Memory Aids: Photos, labels, or familiar objects can help with orientation and comfort.

Keep Routines Consistent: Predictable daily structures build a sense of security.

Offer Reassurance: Gentle encouragement, a kind tone, and patience really matter.

Encourage Reminiscence: Listening to stories about their past helps them feel heard, valued, and connected.
