April is Stress Awareness month with the theme

We can all take small consistent actions to improve our personal and community wellbeing.

Home Instead Durham would like to share some small steps and ideas on how to reduce stress, from carrying out one act of self care to reaching out to an old friend.

We hope some of these actions can be helpful to you 💚

Keeping clients connected to the community is a privilege that many of our Care Professionals have.

Thanks to Lisa, a star in our latest sponsorship films for Love Your Weekend, her client Joan can still get out and about and do the things she loves most.

For many families, peace of mind comes from knowing someone is there.

Not just for support, but for companionship, conversation, and those everyday moments that bring comfort.

It might be a friendly visit in the morning, help with preparing meals, a walk outside, or simply sitting together and sharing stories over a cup of tea.

Small moments, but ones that can make the day feel easier, more familiar, and a little brighter.

If you’d like to learn more about support at home, get in touch with our team at Home Instead Durham via homeinstead.co.uk/durham or call 0191 374 4041 💚

Our Operational Manager Helen shared these wonderful old photos with us of her late grandparents.

She told us "one my fondest memories of being a young girl is looking through old photos with my Nan, Gran and Grandad".

Walking down “memory lane” is among the best things we can do to encourage conversation with our older loved ones, bringing back moments long forgotten—moments we may have not thought of as important until later in our lives.

The best part of what we do at Home Instead Durham is build relationships and promote conversation and well being. We love hearing about our clients' past experiences, career and memories of times gone by.

Interested in finding out more about what we do?

Not everyone sets out with a career in care in mind. Many people find their way here because they are looking for work that feels more human, more meaningful, and more connected to real people.

Being a Care Professional is about showing up with kindness, taking time to listen, and helping someone live well in the place they call home. It is about trust, consistency, and building relationships that grow over time.

If you are thinking about a change in direction and want a role where your values matter just as much as your skills, a career in care with Home Instead Durham could be the right next step.

To find out more, call 0191 374 4041 or visit homeinstead.co.uk/durham.
