🧩 A purr-fect puzzle session!

This week, our wonderful Care Professional Toni spent some quality time with her client enjoying one of their favourite pastimes — puzzles!

They had a lovely afternoon chatting, relaxing and piecing together the picture… with a little “help” from the family cat, who was very keen to get involved. We’re not saying Toni has started teaching the cat how to do puzzles… but let’s just say there was some very enthusiastic supervision from our furry friend! 😄🐾

Moments like these show how companionship can brighten the day and turn simple activities into something special.

🌍 Today is World Diabetes Day

At Home Instead South Manchester, we support many elderly individuals living with diabetes, and today is a reminder of how small, everyday choices can make a big difference to long-term health.

Living well with diabetes in later life is absolutely achievable. A few helpful habits include:

✔️ Balanced meals – choosing vegetables, wholegrains and lean proteins can help keep blood sugar steady.
✔️ Staying active – light movement such as short walks, chair exercises or gentle stretching supports overall wellbeing.
✔️ Regular check-ins – keeping on top of medications, eye tests and foot care is essential.
✔️ Staying hydrated – drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps maintain energy and balance.
✔️ Emotional support – having someone to talk to or share daily routines with can make managing diabetes much easier.

Our Care Professionals are here to offer support, encouragement and companionship, helping individuals live safely and comfortably at home.

🌍 World Diabetes Day

Caring Through Awareness

Diabetes affects millions of older people across the UK, often in ways that aren't always visible. Today is a reminder of the importance of understanding the condition, recognising the signs, and creating space for open conversations, whether it’s with a friend, a neighbour, or someone you care for.

Taking the time to listen, support healthier choices, and share knowledge can make everyday life that little bit easier.

Let’s use this day to check in with those around us, not just today, but throughout the year.

💛 It’s World Kindness Day! 💛

Imagine the difference if everyone did one small, thoughtful thing today. Smile at the person behind you in the queue, compliment a colleague, check in on a neighbour, or simply say thank you and mean it.

Kindness isn’t just a nice idea, it’s the thread that keeps communities connected. Let’s start a wave of kindness together.

What’s your one act of kindness going to be today? 🌍✨

Today is World Kindness Day, a perfect chance for our community to make kindness part of everyday life. At Home Instead South Manchester we know just how much a smile, a kind word or a helping hand can mean to an elderly person who may be feeling a little isolated.

🕯️ Remembrance Day 2025 🕯️

Today, we pause to remember and honour all those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their bravery and sacrifice continue to inspire us, reminding us of the importance of compassion, community, and care.

At Home Instead South Manchester, we are proud to support many elderly individuals who hold vivid memories of wartime life — stories that help keep history alive for future generations.

Lest we forget. ❤️

🌿 Meaningful Moments with M

Our lovely client M enjoys her weekly walks with her Care Professional; a gentle stroll through the park followed by a stop at her favourite café. These outings help lift her mood and support her dementia care, keeping her active and connected.

M once loved travelling, and she was perfectly matched with her Care Professional who shares that same passion. Their chats are filled with stories of adventures abroad and memories that bring a smile to M’s face every time.

💜 It’s the simple things — friendship, laughter and shared interests — that make all the difference.

❄️ Cosy Sunday Ideas for Older Adults in South Manchester

As the chilly weather rolls in, there’s nothing better than a relaxing Sunday filled with comfort, warmth, and a little joy! Here are a few lovely ways to spend a crisp autumn or winter day:

☕ Enjoy a warm drink and good company – Visit a local café in Didsbury or Chorlton for a quiet catch-up with a friend.

🎨 Get creative indoors – Try painting, knitting, or writing – perfect ways to keep the mind active while staying warm.

📚 Read or listen to a good book – Local libraries such as Withington or Chorlton offer great selections and audiobooks too.

🚶‍♀️ Take a gentle walk – Wrap up warm and enjoy the fresh air with a stroll around Didsbury Park.

🌿 Visit a garden centre – Enjoy a peaceful outing to Golden Days Garden Centre in Cheadle or Hulme Community Garden Centre, both lovely spots to explore plants and enjoy a warming drink in the café.

🎬 Watch a classic film – Whether it’s at home or at the cinema, a Sunday film is always a treat.

However you spend your Sunday, take the time to relax and do something that makes you smile.

🏡 Stay home, stay independent – with live-in care you can count on.

At Home Instead South Manchester we understand how important it is for elderly people to remain in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar things, memories and routines. That’s why we’re proud to offer our Live-in Care service, where a dedicated Care Professional lives in the home and supports your loved one day and night.

With live-in care:
- Your loved one can stay in their beloved home rather than moving to a care home. 

- They receive 1-to-1 attention from someone they get to know well, rather than meeting a different carer every few hours. 

- Everyday life continues: routines, favourite activities, comfort zones, instead of being disrupted.

- You as a family member gain peace of mind knowing there is someone there, helping with personal care, household tasks, companionship and more. 

If you’re wondering whether live-in care could be right for your situation, we’re here to talk through it with you — no pressure, just support. Give us a call at 0161 884 0562 or visit our website to book a free chat.

Preparing for Slippery Surfaces 🧣🍂

Cold, wet weather can make outdoor paths risky for older adults. A few small steps can help everyone stay safe:

✅ Wear sturdy shoes with good grip, avoid smooth soles
✅ Use handrails whenever they’re available
✅ Clear paths of leaves, moss and debris regularly
✅ Keep entrances well-lit so hazards are easier to see
✅ Walk slowly and take smaller steps when it’s wet or icy

Why not save this as a quick checklist to share with family or neighbours? It’s a simple way to help prevent falls this season.

Our story

Home Instead South Manchester aims to give the kind of care we would want for our only family members. We opened our office in April 2015 in Chorlton with the objective of providing high quality care at home for elderly people who want to remain happy and independent in their own homes. We believe that good care can’t be rushed and so our minimum visit time is one hour. Our CAREGivers are kind and friendly people who want to make a difference in their clients’ lives and who visit the same clients so they can build real relationships.

We want to make a difference in our community too, so we run a free singing group on a Tuesday afternoon at Parkfield Court where all are welcome, and we distribute a free “ What’s On Where” guide of 100 things to do in our local community.
