If you are starting to worry that someone is no longer safe spending nights alone, live-in care can be a calm alternative to a move away from home.

With Home Instead, a Live-in Care Professional can be there around the clock, helping with washing, dressing, meals, medication prompts and companionship.

Families often feel more at ease knowing someone is there day and night. If you would like to talk through live in care, our local Home Instead team is ready to listen.

If you care for a loved one, January can feel tiring, especially after the holidays.
It is okay to admit that you feel a little overwhelmed and fatigued.

Try to plan one small break each week, even if it is just a quiet hour to yourself.

Let a trusted friend or relative know how things really are and accept offers of help with shopping, lifts or sitting with your loved one.

You do not have to manage everything alone, and Home Instead is here whenever you need an extra pair of hands.

Ever been told you are a good listener or someone others turn to for help?

Home Instead is recruiting Care Professionals to support older adults at home. Visits may include companionship, help with getting ready to start or finish the day, preparing meals, prompting medication, and light housework.

You do not need to have worked in care before. We provide thorough training, ongoing learning and support when you need it.

If you are kind, dependable and keen to help others continue to live well at home, please apply through our website.

Today is Brew Monday, created by Samaritans to remind us there is no such thing as Blue Monday, but there is always time for a cuppa and a catch-up.

If someone older in your life has gone a bit quiet, today could be the day you send a text, pick up the phone or pop the kettle on together.

You do not need perfect words. Just listen, let them talk and stay present.

Supporting a loved one with dementia can feel especially hard in winter, with early evenings and changes to routine. Families can worry about safety, confusion and how to manage on tired days.

At Home Instead, our dementia care is built around familiar faces, regular visits and calm, unhurried support. We follow the person’s own pace, with help for washing, dressing, meals and gentle reminders.

We are also here for families, offering reassurance and time to rest.

Wet weather, darker evenings and clutter can make falls more likely.
During a visit, look for loose rugs, piles of shoes, trailing wires or poor lighting in hallways and on stairs.

A few ideas:
• Move small tables or stools out of walkways
• Add a lamp or brighter bulb where needed
• Keep favourite items within easy reach

These small changes can help someone move around with more confidence at home.

Cold weather and darker days can make everyday jobs feel harder. Simple tasks like changing bedding, carrying shopping or keeping on top of the washing can become a real worry.

Our Care Professionals can help with light housework, laundry, meal preparation, taking bins out and a bit of gentle sorting and tidying.

A little practical help can make home feel easier to manage. If you would like to chat about home help for yourself or a loved one, Home Instead is here to help.

Cold homes can affect both health and mood, especially in January.
If you are visiting an older loved one, notice whether the main rooms feel warm, if they have layers of clothing to hand and if hot drinks are easy to make.

Encourage them to:
• Heat the room they use most
• Keep slippers with good grip by the bed or chair
• Have a blanket nearby for extra warmth

If you are worried, speak to their GP or local support services for advice.
