Staying active doesn’t have to be complicated

For many of our elderly loved ones, it’s the small, gentle movements each day that really help. Simple exercises like chair stretches, ankle circles, shoulder rolls or a short walk can support mobility, balance and confidence in everyday life. It’s not about doing a lot - just moving a little, often.

As always, exercises should be done at a comfortable pace, with advice from a GP or healthcare professional if needed.

✨ Top Tip: consistency matters more than intensity. Even 5–10 minutes a day can help.

What gentle exercises work best for you or your loved ones? Please share your favourite ways to keep moving each day.

Caring for someone with dementia at home can feel overwhelming at times. But small changes can make a big difference 💙

One simple way to make life easier for someone with dementia is to keep daily routines consistent. Familiar times for meals, rest, and activities can help reduce anxiety and provide a sense of security.

It's also important to use clear, simple communication. Short sentences and calm reassurance can be far more comforting than lots of information at once.

Create a familiar environment by keeping favourite items, photos, and furniture in the same place. Even when short-term memory is affected, many people with dementia can still connect with older memories. Photos from earlier life stages can spark recognition, comfort, and conversation.

For families, live-in carers can offer invaluable support. They help maintain routines, provide gentle reassurance, assist with personal care, and offer companionship - all while enabling your loved one to remain in their own home.

If you’re caring for someone with dementia and would like to learn more about in-home dementia care or live-in support, we’re always happy to have a conversation and offer guidance.

🌟 Flashback Friday 🌟

Remember the little things that made your childhood special - the games, the stories, the laughter with grandparents?

Some moments stay with us forever. At Always Take Care, we see the joy that comes from these little memories every day. Whether it’s reminiscing over family stories, enjoying a favourite song, or just spending time together, these moments matter for everyone, including clients living with dementia.

We’d love to hear from you: what’s a favourite memory you’ve shared with a grandparent, parent, or loved one? Share your story in the comments and let’s celebrate those special times together.

What does good care mean to you?

For us, it means delivering care with kindness, respect, and consistency - every day.

It’s providing dependable support, maintaining dignity, and building trusted relationships that help people feel comfortable and confident at home.

It’s taking the time to listen, respecting routines that matter, and supporting each person as an individual. Whether it’s dementia care, elderly support, or trusted in-home care, our focus is always on helping people feel safe, valued, and comfortable in their own homes.

If you’re exploring care options for a loved one, we’re always happy to have a conversation and help you understand what support might look like for you and your family.
