It’s Self Care Week, and for family carers, we want to remind you of one thing…to be the best family carer, you must also look after yourself.

Caring is demanding, and burn out is real. Our care offers professional, compassionate support that seamlessly steps in, allowing you to recharge your batteries with complete peace of mind.

You deserve a break. Contact Home Instead Maidenhead, Henley & Wallingford today to discuss options tailored to your family's needs. Call 01628 299097 or

Can people with dementia still live a 'normal' life?

The answer is… yes. Here’s how.

This clip features a family carer, a Home Instead Registered Care Manager, and a Clinical Psychologist discussing how to achieve a fulfilling life after a diagnosis.

The key takeaways for our local community are:

● Relationship is Key: Skillful, patient care is essential, especially when a loved one resists help.

● Encourage Joy: Ask them, "What do you enjoy, and how can we do more of that?"

● Build a Network: Strong support and adapting the home environment make all the difference to independence.

At both our Home Instead offices (Home Instead Abingdon, Didcot & Newbury and Home Instead Maidenhead, Henley & Wallingford) we provide, personalised care that focuses on nurturing relationships and supporting the life your loved one already enjoys in the comfort and familiarity of home. Continuity and care are key.

It's been such a busy time here at Home Instead, we've yet to share about our Dementia Information Session we held in Henley on 1st of this month.

We were so very pleased that so many people came along - over 25 attendees - all with their own personal reasons for joining us. Paddy did a wonderful job in sharing his knowledge and everyone there also asked questions and shared their experiences. It was a truly interesting morning.

Thank you to all who came - we hope you found the event helpful and we hope you now know, the experienced and caring team here at Home Instead are here to help. 💚

What a great evening on Saturday at the Understanding Dementia and lessening its impact quiz night.

Our team - Taking Care of Quizness 🤣- came joint 3rd out of more than 25 teams! A very respectable result if we do say so ourselves 👏

We were joined by Nikki from RG10 Magazine and Simon and Dawn, who have recently moved to the area.

All for a wonderful cause — Understanding Dementia raised over £2.5K on the night! 🎉 These funds will go towards supporting family members of those living with dementia through online information courses. 💙

Remember, Remember…. Safety this Bonfire Night in Maidenhead, Henley & Wallingford!

As fireworks light up the sky tonight, the noise and cold can cause unexpected distress for many older people in our community.

This year, help keep your loved ones comfortable and secure by taking these simple steps:

- Muffle the noise: Close windows and draw curtains before it gets dark to minimise the startling bangs and flashes.
- Stay warm: Ensure warm clothes are layered up, and hot, comfortable drinks are on hand.
- Offer comfort: Provide reassuring company or a distracting activity if the noise causes anxiety, especially for those with dementia.

We're here to offer long term support that provides safety and peace of mind all winter long.

Planning for winter peace of mind? Contact Home Instead Maidenhead, Henley & Wallingford this week to discuss a consistent, safe care routine. Call 01628 299097 or visit www.homeinstead.co.uk/maidenhead

Home instead provided the loveliest carers for my mum. They took her out, sat & chatted with her as well as doing housework. No uniforms & they matched their personalities to my mums. Very highly recommended
