🎆 Bonfire Night Reminder from Elite Assistance 🎆

As Bonfire Night lights up the skies, we’d like to remind everyone to stay safe and be considerate this evening.

Many of the people we support - along with older neighbours, pets, and those with health conditions - can find the loud bangs and flashes a little overwhelming.

If you’re celebrating tonight, please try to:

✨ Let neighbours know if you’re planning fireworks
✨ Keep displays to reasonable hours
✨ Consider quieter or low-noise fireworks

Let’s keep our community safe, calm, and cared for - so everyone can enjoy the evening in comfort. 💫

Stay warm and have a lovely Bonfire Night from all of us at Elite Assistance.

It’s always wonderful to receive cards of appreciation at the office, but when our service users take the time to make us a beautiful Halloween card, it means even more.
It’s the little touches like this that make our job so rewarding.

Reminder: the clocks go back an hour tonight.

Finally, time travel is real and it comes with more sleep!

October is ADHD Awareness Month!

As a manager in a domiciliary care agency and as someone who lives with ADHD myself - this month is deeply personal.

ADHD isn’t just about being forgetful or distracted. It’s a neurological condition that can affect focus, emotional regulation, time management and how someone processes the World around them. For those of us in care roles, understanding ADHD is more than awareness, it’s empathy in action.

Whether we're supporting clients with ADHD or colleagues who live with it, compassion and flexibility make all the difference. Small changes, like clear communication, consistent routines, visual reminders, or simply creating a safe space to be heard can help someone with ADHD thrive, not just cope.

If you care for someone with ADHD, here’s how you can help:

• Be patient with repetition or distraction - it's not intentional.
• Break down tasks into smaller steps.
• Use visual schedules or alarms to support structure.
• Celebrate effort, not just outcomes.
• Don’t take overwhelm personally, it’s often internal, not about you.

ADHD doesn't make anyone less capable, it just means we navigate the World a little differently. In the right environment, with the right understanding, we can do incredible things!

Let’s raise awareness, reduce stigma, and keep creating care environments where neurodiversity is supported and respected.

Following on from our post on Friday about the wonderful donation we were able to make to the Macular Society, here’s some information you may find interesting;

Ever heard of the macula? It’s a tiny part of your eye with a BIG job!

The macula is the part of your retina that lets you see the fine details — like reading, recognizing faces, and seeing colours clearly. It’s like the HD centre of your vision!
But when something goes wrong with the macula, you might notice:

Blurry or fuzzy central vision
Wavy lines
Trouble reading or seeing faces
Dark or empty spots in your sight

Common macular conditions include:
Macular Degeneration (common as we age)
Macular Hole
Macular Edema (often related to diabetes)

If you notice changes in your vision, don’t ignore them — early treatment can protect your sight!

Regular eye checkups = healthy vision for life

At our last Caring Connections group, as a group we made the thoughtful decision to donate this month’s donations to the Macular Society. Today we received a lovely thank you from them, which we’re passing on to all our wonderful attendees!

During the session, we got creative with some autumnal crafts, shared stories about our favourite holiday destinations, and, of course, enjoyed plenty of tea and cake!

Thank you to everyone who came along and contributed - your kindness is making a real difference.

If you’d like to join us for our Halloween Caring Connections group on 30th October, please get in touch for more information. It’s the perfect way to meet local people and feel part of the community!
