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: Skilful, patient care is essential, especially when a loved one resists help.
● Encourage Joy: Ask them, "What do I enjoy, and how can I do more of that?"
● Build a Network: Strong support and adapting the home environment make all the difference to independence.

At Home Instead St Helens, 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.🏠

🎆🎆Remember, Remember…. Safety this Bonfire Night in St Helens! 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 St Helens this week to discuss a consistent, safe care routine. Call 01744 778 978 or visit www.homeinstead.co.uk/sthelens.

When a grandparent is living with dementia, it can be confusing and emotional for younger family members. But with the right support, children can still enjoy meaningful moments with the people they love.

Here are a few simple ways to help:
👂 Use honest, age appropriate language
🖼 Focus on shared activities like looking at photos or reading together
😊 Reassure them it’s the condition that’s changing – not the person they love
🎶 Celebrate the little moments of joy, a smile, a song, a hug

Talking openly helps children stay connected and builds empathy for life.
