👻 Making Halloween Dementia-Friendly 👻

Halloween brings fun and excitement, but for someone with dementia, it can also bring anxiety. At Home Instead East Lothian, we believe a few small changes can make all the difference.

🎃 Keep it cosy, not creepy – Replace scary masks and skeletons with autumn wreaths, pumpkins or gentle lighting.
🎶 Use music to relax – Soft background music can help reduce stress and keep the atmosphere calm.
🍰 Create comforting routines – Baking or sharing a warm drink can help bring familiarity to the day.

If you’ve found ways to make Halloween calmer for a loved one, we’d love to hear them. Drop your ideas in the comments below.

⏰ Don’t forget – clocks go back tonight!

At 2:00AM, the clocks go back an hour. Lovely news for your sleep, but those darker evenings are about to set in across East Lothian.

It’s a good time to make sure your older relatives or neighbours are well prepared, outdoor lighting working, home cosy and secure.

Need some regular companionship or support at home? Call us on 0345 296 2897.

💡 Making Sense of Care Costs 💡

When it comes to choosing care for a loved one, understanding how it all works, especially the costs, is key.

At Home Instead East Lothian, we believe in clarity and choice. Our home care services are tailored to your needs, and you only pay for what you use.

Home care can often be more affordable than a residential care home, and you may be eligible for local council funding.

Slippery leaves, darker evenings and cluttered walkways, they can all add up to an increased risk of falls at this time of year.

🪞 Secure mats and rugs to prevent slipping
🪜 Keep hallways and stairways clear
💡 Ensure lights are bright and working, especially near steps

At Home Instead East Lothian, our Care Professionals can help keep your home tidy, safe and comfortable.

💚 Kindness. Patience. A good sense of humour.

That’s what makes a great Care Professional.
It’s about helping someone hold onto their independence, maybe by joining them for a walk along North Berwick beach or sharing a chat over a cuppa in Haddington.

At Home Instead East Lothian, our team gives older people the support and confidence to keep enjoying life their way.

If you’re the sort of person who finds joy in helping others, we’d love to have you with us.
