🎲 A Fun & Healthy Way to Spend Time With Senior Family Members This Christmas! 🎄

Board games aren’t just nostalgic fun - they’re incredibly beneficial for senior family members. Research shows that people who play games regularly keep their minds sharper and may even reduce their risk of cognitive decline.

Games like Scrabble, chess, puzzles and card games help strengthen memory, reasoning skills and concentration. They’re brilliant winter activities too, especially when seniors are spending more time indoors and need meaningful social interaction.

Some of our favourite easy-to-play games include:
✔ Dominoes
✔ Scrabble
✔ Chess / Draughts
✔ Jigsaw puzzles
✔ Card games like Rummy or Uno

Our Top tips for choosing games for Seniors:
• Keep rules simple
• Use large print or larger pieces
• Choose a mix of quick & longer games
• Keep a deck of cards handy — perfect anytime!

Game time is a beautiful way to bring family together, lift spirits and create new memories. ❤️
And yes — they make wonderful Christmas gifts too!

At GoodOaks Homecare WKRW, we’re passionate about supporting joyful, meaningful moments at home. If you'd like to learn more about our home care services, we’d love to help.

Today at GoodOaks Homecare, we celebrated a truly special moment with our amazing care team 🥰

Our wonderful Senior Team Leader Monica has reached an incredible 4 years with us, and what a difference she makes every single day. Her dedication, kindness, and commitment to providing quality care at home has touched the lives of so many of our clients and carers.

Before she heads off to Colombia for a well deserved month’s break, we surprised her with an early Christmas gift 🎄🎁
A small way to show just how grateful we are for her warmth, her leadership, and her genuine passion for helping others.

Monica, thank you for everything you do for our clients, our carers, and for the whole GoodOaks family. Enjoy your time away, you truly deserve every moment! 💗

Today is National Mammography Day 💕

A gentle reminder that caring for our health means taking time to check in with ourselves too.

Regular breast screening saves lives — especially for women over 50.

If you or someone you love hasn’t had a mammogram recently, this is your friendly nudge to book one.

At GoodOaks Homecare Richmond & Wandsworth, we’re passionate about helping our clients stay well, supported, and informed — because prevention and early detection matter.

Let’s keep the conversation about women’s health open, supportive, and stigma-free 💗

What a fantastic evening our GoodOaks Wimbledon & Kingston team had at our recent staff night out! 🎳💙

Our carers work incredibly hard every day to support our clients, so it was lovely to take some time out together, share laughs, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition on the bowling lanes.

At GoodOaks, we believe that happy, supported staff create happy clients — and nights like these remind us just how special our team really is.

Honouring International Day of Older Persons 💚🌳

Every day we witness how meaningful connections matter, whether it’s a conversation over tea, helping someone maintain their daily routines, or simply being a trusted presence in people’s homes. Our mission is to enable people to live with dignity, independence and connection.

Here are a few thoughts we want to share:
- Social connection is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. As people age, life changes can make maintaining relationships harder. That’s why we prioritise companionship, not just “care tasks,” in how we deliver home support.
- Older people are active contributors. They volunteer, mentor, care for family, share wisdom, and strengthen communities, yet far too often their value is undervalued or overlooked.
- We all have a role to play. Whether as neighbours, professionals, family, or friends, we can actively combat social isolation, challenge ageism, and help everyone feel they belong - regardless of age.

We provide homecare services in Wimbledon and Kingston in your own home. Elderly care, dementia care, visiting or live-in care available.
