Always Take Care

14/11/2025

Happy Friday everyone - we hope you've all had a good week?

The weather in our part of the world (Rutland) has turned wild and woolly. Due to the arrival of Storm Claudia, the Met Office has issued yellow and amber weather warnings for today and Saturday.

It's pretty unpleasant weather throughout the Midlands. So, if you do need to be out and about, please be careful and stay safe.

Here's a lovely photo of Dawn, Ann-Marie, Clare and Bridget, taken last year as we showed our support for the World Cup.

We wish you all a wonderful weekend 🫶

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has just published its latest 'State of Care' report - an annual assessment of health care and social care in England.

Key takeaways include ongoing workforce and capacity challenges, pressure across the sector, and persistent inequalities in care. The CQC are calling for greater investment in services outside hospitals and improvements in the quality of care people receive.

At Always Take Care, we believe home is where healing, comfort, and independence thrive. And we feel very honored to make that possible for families every day. Families choose us because we treat every client like our own family - with respect, compassion, and genuine care.

Our carers are at the heart of everything we do, and they are handpicked for their hearts as much as their skills.

Did you know? We provide specialised live-in care for clients with dementia and a range of other medical conditions. Our dedicated caregivers are trained to support individuals with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, mobility issues, and other complex health needs. If you have specific medical concerns, we’d be happy to discuss how we can support you or your loved one

Please get in touch with the team to learn why so many families trust Always Take Care to provide quality care, right where it matters most - at home. 🏡

Our delivery of donated colostomy bags that we have just shipped over to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

We send a shipment approximately every three months. These supplies go to a local hospice (shout out to Island Hospice & Healthcare!) who distribute the bags to patients in need.

In the UK, colostomy bags are provided by the NHS - something many of us may take for granted. But in countries like Zimbabwe, these essential supplies are often scarce, very expensive, and unaffordable for most people. Which is heartbreaking 💔

Without access to colostomy bags, many are left housebound and unable to live their lives with comfort or dignity. That’s why every donation and shipment we send makes such a huge difference.

Thank you to everyone who helps make this possible. If you'd like to know more about Island Hospice, please give them a follow 🙏

What Does 24-Hour Live-In Care Really Mean? 🤗

It means your loved one can stay right where they feel happy and comfortable - at home - with a professional carer who lives with them and provides support day and night. 💙

Live-in care isn’t just about help with meals, medication, or daily routines. It’s about companionship and peace of mind, knowing someone is always there when needed.

The benefits are enormous. Families can relax, knowing their loved one is safe and cared for. And loved ones get to stay at home, maintain their independence and continue living life their way. 🏡✨

💬 Want to learn more about how live-in home care could help your family? Send us a message, we’d love to chat.

Have you heard the story behind 'Always Take Care'?

ATC is here because of Bridget's mum, Heather Gebbie. Heather sadly passed away in March 2025, and we miss her every day. But her indomitable spirit continues to guide all of us here at ATC.

Heather laid the foundations for our work, and we follow in her footsteps, doing our best to make a difference by delivering care with dignity, respect, and unwavering compassion. We honour her legacy – not just in the name, but in the way we care.
