Yesterday was Dignity Action Day 2026

As Ask Care our client’s dignity is at the forefront.

We believe dignity in care is not a luxury. It’s a basic human right. 🤍

It’s being spoken to slowly, with respect.

It’s being asked what you want, not told.

It’s having someone knock before entering a room.

Many families don’t realise how much these small moments matter until they’re missing.

If you’re caring for an elderly parent, dignity often shows up in the details you worry about.

How they’re spoken to.

Whether they feel embarrassed.

Whether they still feel like themselves. 🕊️

Good elderly care is about more than safety.

It’s about feeling respected, valued, and understood every single day. Do you agree? 🌿

Today is Parent Mental Health Day, and it’s a reminder that your parent’s mental health matters just as much as their physical health. 🧠

If you’re caring for an elderly mum or dad, you might notice small changes.

They seem quieter than usual.

They’ve lost interest in things they used to enjoy.

They don’t want to go out or talk as much.

They say they’re “fine” but don’t sound like themselves.

These changes are easy to miss when life is busy.

Supporting your parent’s mental health can start with simple things.

Keeping a routine.

Encouraging conversation.

Making sure they’re not spending long days alone.

Having someone check in regularly who they feel comfortable with.

Good elderly care and home care support isn’t only about tasks.

It’s about connection, dignity, and feeling safe and understood. 💙

You don’t have to figure this out on your own.

Support can help both you and your parent feel less overwhelmed. 🌱

A stroke does not always look serious at first. 🧠

The NHS uses FAST to spot stroke signs.

But there are also signs people may not expect. ⚠️

This can look like struggling to find the right words.

Dropping cups or cutlery.

A smile that looks uneven in photos.

Sudden confusion.

Or sounding different on the phone.

These moments are easy to ignore.

But when it comes to stroke, time matters. ⏰

If you are caring for elderly parents and something does not feel right, trust that feeling. 💙

😌Good elderly care adapts as life changes.

It respects culture.

It honours language and routine.

It protects dignity at every stage.

At Ask Care, we don’t offer packages off a shelf.

We listen first, then create flexible care plans that fit your family’s reality.

If you’ve been trying to make something “work” that no longer does, this is your sign to talk it through.

This Race Against Dementia Day, we want to talk about what truly makes a difference, and it’s not just “care”.

For families living with dementia, the hardest moments often aren’t medical.

They’re emotional…

It’s the anxiety when a new face walks through the door.

The distress when routines change without warning.

The confusion when language, tone, or cultural habits aren’t understood.

This is why specialist dementia support matters.

When the same carer shows up consistently…

When routines stay familiar…

When someone understands language, culture, and personal habits…

Something shifts.

Anxiety reduces.

Trust builds.

And families stop living in constant alert mode.

Good dementia care isn’t just about supporting the person…it’s about supporting the family who are carrying the emotional load every single day.

At Ask Care, our dementia care services focus on continuity, familiarity, and dignity, so families feel supported, not overwhelmed.

If you’re caring for a loved one with dementia and wondering whether there’s a better way to cope, you’re not alone.

Some days feel harder because you’re holding a lot, work, family, responsibility, worry, love.😔

If you’re caring for an elderly parent, it’s normal to feel tired, guilty, or stretched thin.

That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

It means you care deeply.

Today is often called Blue Monday, but the truth is, any day can feel hard, when you’re doing so much on your own.

Support is not failure.

Asking for help is not giving up.

It’s another way of showing love.

If today feels like too much, message us, and share this post.

We’ll listen, quietly, kindly, and without pressure

Most families call us later than they wish they had.

They often say:
“I thought we could manage.”
“I didn’t want to overreact.”
“I didn’t think we were ‘there yet’.”

But care doesn’t have to start at crisis point.

If you’re worried about an elderly parent, a loved one with health needs, or changing care requirements, the first step is a Needs Assessment.

A Needs Assessment is:
• Free
• Non-committal
• A clear way to understand what support is available

It helps you plan home care, elderly care, dementia support, or disability support before things become urgent.

Many families tell us they feel instant relief just knowing where they stand and what their options are.

You don’t have to decide everything today.

You just need to start the conversation.

Winter care for elderly loved ones needs more attention than many families expect.🥶

Cold weather can affect mobility, mood, appetite, and overall wellbeing, so increasing the risk of falls, illness, and hospital visits.

Planning ahead with the right home care, routine, and support can make winter safer and calmer for everyone involved.

Save this post, if you’re caring for an elderly parent this winter, and unsure whether their care needs have changed. ☺️

An early conversation can really help.

😷Your parent might not have a high temperature.

They might not say they feel unwell.

Instead, you may notice things like:
• sudden confusion
• extreme tiredness
• eating less than usual
• moving more slowly
• not wanting to get out of bed

In older people, flu can show up quietly and unexpectedly, but it can hit harder and last longer.

If something feels “off”, it’s ok to trust that instinct.

Getting support early can prevent bigger problems later.

If you’re unsure whether your loved one needs extra help right now, we’re here to talk it through.

Most families wait until a fall…

a missed medication…

or a moment of panic…

before reaching out.

But planning ahead isn’t dramatic, it’s protective.

It’s love in action.

If you’ve noticed worrying changes in your parent, like forgetting meals, losing balance, struggling with daily tasks, or withdrawing more, then these are signs to pay attention to.

A Needs Assessment takes the pressure off your shoulders and gives you:
✓ Clarity on what your parent actually needs
✓ A structured, personalised support plan
✓ Expert advice that saves you stress and money
✓ Relief - because you’re no longer guessing in the dark

You don’t have to wait for something to go wrong.

You don’t have to wait until you’re overwhelmed.

Make the call before it becomes an emergency.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the most common health issues in older adults.

But many families don’t realise how much daily habits can help manage it.
Here are 5 simple ways to support a loved one at home:
✔️ Use less salt and more spices when cooking
✔️ Encourage regular walking or gentle movement - this can be walking around the house and chair exercises, something gentle.
✔️ Use simple stress-relief routines (breathing, calming music)
✔️ Add potassium-rich foods like bananas, beans and spinach
✔️ Keep track of home blood pressure readings to show the GP

We know how important food, culture, and family routines are, and our carers always respect this in the home.

If you’re helping an elderly parent manage their health and it feels like a lot, you don’t have to do everything alone.
