We are deeply saddened to share the passing of a very special client who, over many years, became not only part of our work but part of our hearts 🤍

She was a long-term client, a cherished friend, and someone who will be greatly missed by our entire team. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with her family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

Our carers will be honouring her life, and we are standing together as a team, supporting one another while remembering her today🕊️

Last week, during our fortnightly team meeting, we proudly announced the winners of our How Olam Are You? Quiz! 🏆

This fun and interactive quiz was designed to give our carers the chance to showcase their knowledge of Olam, as well as our policies and procedures. In return, they had the opportunity to win some amazing prizes including annual leave, a spa day voucher, and a surprise gift bag!

Big congratulations to our winners Habeeb, Yolanda and Victor!!🏅

Victor was out on a visit when we announced the winners, and in true Christmas-movie fashion, the Grinch tried to steal his prize bag.
But don’t worry we caught him red-handed and saved Victor’s goodies! 😂💜

It was such a fun session seeing everyone get involved, laugh, compete, and show just how knowledgeable and dedicated our carers are. You all smashed it!

🌟 Carer’s Rights Day! Know Your Rights, Use Your Rights! 🌟

Today, we celebrate all carers, the seen and the unseen💜

To our wonderful team, who give families peace of mind and often step into the roles of daughters, sons and grandchildren…
Your dedication does not go unnoticed.
The community truly appreciates everything you do👏

And to the unheard carers... the family members, neighbours and friends who may not even realise they’ve become carers…
Today is for you too💜

Being a carer isn’t easy, and you deserve support, recognition and access to the right information.

As the temperatures drop and Christmas gets closer, we want to share an important reminder for anyone caring for a loved one with dementia.
Winter weather can increase risks but with the right support, we can help keep our loved ones safe, warm, and comfortable💜

We’ve created an infographic with helpful winter tips for supporting someone with dementia, inspired by Alzheimer's Society.
Take a look, share it with others, and comment with any ideas that have helped your family.

Let’s support each other and build a community that truly CARES. 💞

👇 Let’s keep the conversation going!

The other day, our carers took part in PEG training with Jo from Nutricia! 👩‍⚕️
As we welcome clients with a wider range of needs, we’re committed to creating more opportunities for our team to grow and develop.
During the session, our carers were able to:
👉 Learn about different PEG feeding methods
👉 Refresh their knowledge on infection control
👉 And much more!
It was a fantastic experience, and the team is excited to put their new skills into action to better support our clients!
