After 10 years of providing care across Hammersmith and Chiswick, we’ve seen the same fact repeat itself over and over: most hospital admissions are preventable.

Here is exactly how we’ve kept our clients safe, happy, and at home for over a decade:

1. The Hydration Secret
It sounds too simple, but it’s the #1 reason for falls. Dehydration leads to low blood pressure, which leads to dizziness. If you feel "wobbly" in the morning, drink a full glass of water before you even stand up.

2. Master Your Meds
The "I’ll take it later" trap is dangerous. Missing a dose or doubling up is one of the fastest ways to end up in A&E. Use a monitored dosage box or, better yet, have someone check in. Consistency is the only way to stay stable.

3. "Audit" Your Floors
Your home should be your sanctuary, not an obstacle course. That rug you’ve had for 20 years? If the corner is turned up, it’s a trip hazard. Those loose slippers? They’re a risk. Clear the walkways. Lighting is your best friend—keep the halls bright.

4. The Power of "Small and Often"
If you stop moving, the world gets smaller. You don't need a gym; you just need to keep the "engine" running. A short walk to the shops on Chiswick High Road or just moving around the garden keeps your muscles awake. Use it or lose it.

5. Don’t Socially Isolate
Health isn't just physical. When we stop seeing people, we stop eating well and we stop noticing the small symptoms. Connection keeps your mind sharp and your spirit high.

What has been your experience with dementia?

06/01/2026

‘One day I went to visit, and she didn’t remember me. I said who I was and she said, “I’ve got a nephew called Jon. He’s a famous actor”.
‘I was very upset, and when I went home I told my son that my aunt had forgotten me.

‘He said, “No, Dad. She remembers you. She just doesn’t recognise you”.’

Our wonderful Ambassador, Sir Jonathan Pryce opens up to the Daily Mail about his family’s experience of dementia.

In memory of his Aunt Mair, Sir Jonathan is sharing his story - because it will take a society to beat dementia.
