🦷✨ Learning All About Oral Hygiene✨🦷



At Step One Services Limited, we recognise that oral hygiene is a fundamental part of overall health and wellbeing. We are committed to ensuring that the people we support understand the importance of maintaining good oral health and feel confident in managing their own daily care routines.

This week, service users participated in a structured oral hygiene session designed to promote knowledge, independence, and self-care skills.

They explored:

🦷 What oral hygiene means

🦷 Why oral hygiene is important for overall health

🦷 Identifying tools used for oral hygiene, such as a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss

🦷 Demonstrating proper toothbrushing techniques using the correct steps

🦷 The difference between healthy and unhealthy choices for our teeth

🦷 The consequences of not brushing teeth regularly

🦷 The importance of regular dental checkups and the consequences of not having regular check ups

✨ The session also included opportunities to demonstrate correct brushing techniques, helping to reinforce practical daily living skills. ✨

We are proud of the engagement shown throughout the session.

By embedding health education into our support, we continue to promote independence, confidence, and improved overall wellbeing for the people we support.

It was fantastic to see such great participation, thoughtful answers, and demonstrations of correct brushing techniques.

Well done to everyone in the Day Centre for taking positive steps towards healthier smiles! 🌟

Really proud today, it's lovely to hear when given time to support people this is what they can achieved.
This is from one of our carers
A lady I support who is a crafter decided to start a craft group in Newton Abbot, she put out leaflets and word of mouth, found a venue where people can buy a coffee, chat and craft if they choose. I spoke to 2 other ladies I support one who is a crafter and one who doesn't do crafting but was still interested in meeting other ladies and extending her social life. As both ladies were quite isolated and struggling with their mental health, they have benefitted from joining this free group whether they craft, chat or both, this class has been a new source of support and friendship to all that attend.

£32 billion a year.

Read here 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/eYkeBWSJ

That’s what taxpayers are spending right now, not on a thriving, well supported care system, but on one under immense strain.

As a care provider, I see firsthand the weight unpaid carers and professional providers carry every day, working tirelessly to keep services going despite the pressures. We are doing everything we can, but no amount of frontline dedication can replace the reform and investment that’s needed at the top.

They call us a “second NHS,” valued at £184 billion, yet we remain mostly invisible, mostly unsupported.

Yes, the government celebrates 2 million extra NHS appointments.

Yes, they claim waiting lists are shrinking.

But the truth is Without real reform of social care, none of these NHS wins will hold.

The Health and Social Care Select Committee has made it clear:-

“Doing nothing to reform social care is an active, untenable decision.”

For every £1 we invest in social care, we get £1.75 back into the economy. We create 50,000 additional jobs. We strengthen the workforce, the communities, the future.

But right now, councils are being forced to patch gaps, divert funds, and cut preventative services while 2 million older people and 1.5 million working age adults go without the care they need and are entitled to.

Care providers are stepping up every single day, but we cannot meet this challenge alone.

This isn’t just about money.
It’s about human lives, dignity, and potential.

The NHS and social care are not two separate systems they are one connected lifeline.

We don’t need more headlines.
We don’t need more commissions.
We need real reform, real investment, and real political will now.

If you care about the future of health and care, speak up. Share this. Challenge the narrative. Because standing still is no longer an option.

Come and join the fastest growing movement in Social Care

Today, the House of Commons rejected crucial amendments to the NICs Bill, sealing the fate of thousands of care providers and the millions who rely on them. This decision dismantles the core principles of the Care Act 2014 and delivers a devastating blow to our sector.

Providers Unite will not stand by. We are mobilising over 4,000 care and support organisations to take action—lobbying MPs, pressuring local authorities, and demanding urgent change. The fight isn’t over. Join us. 💚
