🎃 A Gentle Halloween for Everyone 🎃

Halloween can be noisy, busy and full of surprises which can be unsettling for someone living with dementia. Here are some simple ideas from Home Instead Scottish Borders to keep things relaxed and reassuring:

🌾 Keep decorations simple – Soft autumn décor like leaves, pumpkins or candles creates warmth without confusion.
📖 Stick to familiar activities – Reading a favourite book or looking through photo albums can provide comfort.
🚫 Reduce surprises – A polite sign for trick-or-treaters or a sweet bowl outside can help prevent unexpected knocks.

A calmer Halloween helps everyone feel safe and included. What are your top tips? Share them with us below!

🌙 Time to fall back!

Clocks go back tonight at 2:00AM, that means an extra hour’s sleep and earlier sunsets across the Borders.

Check in on older loved ones or neighbours. Make sure lights are working, paths are safe, and everyone feels comfortable as the evenings draw in.

If someone could use a regular friendly face, give us a ring on 0345 296 2897.

🏡 Understanding the Cost of Care 🏡

Choosing care for a loved one can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make things clearer.

At Home Instead Scottish Borders, we offer flexible, personalised home care that’s often a more cost-effective option than moving into a care home. You pay only for the support you need, when you need it.

You might also qualify for help with funding through your local council.

Call us on 0345 296 2897 or visit: https://www.homeinstead.co.uk/advice/care-cost/to find out more.

🏠 Falls Prevention: A Safer Home for Loved Ones 🏠

As the weather turns and evenings darken, it’s easy to overlook little hazards around the house, but a few small changes can help prevent falls.

Try these:
🧹 Clear walkways and move loose cables out of the way
🪞 Secure rugs or remove them altogether
💡 Check all lightbulbs and keep stairways well-lit

Our Care Professionals help with light housekeeping and home safety during visits.

If this sounds like support you or a loved one could use, call 0345 296 2897.
