Today, we remember.

On this Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of all those who gave so much for our freedom.

At Ivy Homecare, we care deeply for those who served and those who continue to carry the memories of loved ones lost. Many of our clients and carers have personal connections to this day, and we stand with them in reflection and gratitude.

Lest we forget.

3️⃣ Be Clear About Expectations – Writing a job description helps ensure you find the right match.
4️⃣ Ask Around – Recommendations from friends or neighbours can be a great starting point.
5️⃣ Interview with Confidence – You’ll be spending time together, so make sure it feels right.

🎃🧡 Happy Ivy’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Day! 🧡🎃

Halloween can be a fun and festive time, but for some—especially older adults or those living with mental health challenges—it can feel overwhelming or even frightening.

Let’s make this Halloween a little kinder:

Be mindful with costumes and decorations
Keep noise levels low in shared spaces
Offer treats with a smile and patience

Whether you're out trick-or-treating or staying in with a cozy cuppa, let's make sure everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.

👻 Kindness is the best treat of all!

Stroke prevention starts with simple lifestyle choices. You have the power to reduce your risk:

Small changes can make a big difference. Let’s raise awareness and support healthier lives together.

🧠💙 Today is World Stroke Day 💙🧠

Every second counts when it comes to stroke. Knowing the FAST signs can save a life:

F – Face: Is one side drooping? Can they smile?
A – Arms: Can they lift both arms?
S – Speech: Is their speech slurred or confused?
T – Time: Call 999 immediately if you notice any of these signs.

Acting FAST gives the best chance of survival and recovery. Share this message—it could make all the difference.

🔍 Choosing the right care service can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone.

One helpful tool is the Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection report, which rates health and social care providers across four key levels:

✅ Outstanding
✅ Good
⚠️ Requires Improvement
❌ Inadequate

At Ivy Homecare, we’re proud to hold a “Good” rating from the CQC — a reflection of our commitment to safe, compassionate, and high-quality care.

💬 And it’s not just the inspectors who think so — our clients do too!

We’re delighted to have a customer satisfaction rating of 9.6, as shared on Submit a Review — showing that our care truly makes a difference.

If you're exploring care options for yourself or a loved one, CQC reports and real client feedback can help you make informed, confident decisions.

💙 Because everyone deserves care they can trust.
