🌍 World Diabetes Day

Caring Through Awareness

Diabetes affects millions of older people across the UK, often in ways that aren't always visible. Today is a reminder of the importance of understanding the condition, recognising the signs, and creating space for open conversations, whether it’s with a friend, a neighbour, or someone you care for.

Taking the time to listen, support healthier choices, and share knowledge can make everyday life that little bit easier.

Let’s use this day to check in with those around us, not just today, but throughout the year.

Home Instead has proudly run our “Be A Santa” campaign for the past 12 years, spreading festive joy to ageing adults in our community. Christmas can be a lonely time for many, and our campaign aims to raise awareness of this issue while giving these individuals a reason to smile.

Since 2012, Home Instead offices across the UK have gifted thousands of presents, bringing joy not only to those receiving, but also to those donating and our own teams.

This year, we will be returning to Queens Hospital Romford to deliver gifts to patients on the frailty wards. In addition to this we will also be gifting to our local unpaid carers who support their loved ones/family members, to give them a gift in appreciation of the amazing work they do.

We are looking for non-edible items, such as pamper/wellbeing gifts, blankets, toiletries, suitable for both men and women. Your support will help bring festive cheer to those who need it most and show our local community that they are valued and remembered.

If you’re interested in participating or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Together, we can ensure every ageing adult and unpaid carer in our community experiences the magic of Christmas.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to spread festive cheer! 🎄🎁

I am so impressed with the wonderful service provided by Home Instead. The CarePros are so kind and caring towards my mum, and the team in the office are always at hand to help when needed. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they have given really helpful advice too.

💛 It’s World Kindness Day! 💛

Imagine the difference if everyone did one small, thoughtful thing today. Smile at the person behind you in the queue, compliment a colleague, check in on a neighbour, or simply say thank you and mean it.

Kindness isn’t just a nice idea, it’s the thread that keeps communities connected. Let’s start a wave of kindness together.

What’s your one act of kindness going to be today? 🌍✨

Preparing for Slippery Surfaces 🧣🍂

Cold, wet weather can make outdoor paths risky for older adults. A few small steps can help everyone stay safe:

✅ Wear sturdy shoes with good grip, avoid smooth soles
✅ Use handrails whenever they’re available
✅ Clear paths of leaves, moss and debris regularly
✅ Keep entrances well-lit so hazards are easier to see
✅ Walk slowly and take smaller steps when it’s wet or icy

Why not save this as a quick checklist to share with family or neighbours? It’s a simple way to help prevent falls this season.

Some memories fade.
But warmth, kindness, and feeling safe?
Those stay.

Our dementia care isn’t just about routines, it’s about connection. A favourite song. A familiar voice. A gentle hand during the harder days.

We take time to understand each person’s story, because their past shapes how we care in the present.

And for families?
📬 Regular updates
🧾 Thoughtfully designed care plans
🕊️ Reassurance that someone truly cares

This isn’t just care. It’s comfort, continuity, and community, right where it matters most.

Movember is Here, Let’s Keep the Conversation Going 🖤

Movember isn’t just about growing a moustache, it’s about shining a light on men’s health.

Every day, men face challenges with physical health, mental wellbeing, and silent struggles that often go unspoken. This month is a chance to pause, check in with the men in our lives, and remind them that talking is a sign of strength.

Take a moment to:

Ask a loved one how they’re doing, and really listen.

Share information about prostate and testicular cancer checks.

Remind a friend they don’t have to face tough times alone.

Small conversations can make a big difference. 💬
