Today is awareness day, aiming to raise awareness about pressure ulcers - how they can affect our daily lives, the problems that can occur if not treated on time and the long-term effects on our daily lives. This year's crucial theme is: "What matters to me is...", focusing on raising awareness of ulcers, education and proactive care and safeguarding vulnerable individuals.

Pressure ulcers are largely avoidable and success in prevention starts with truly listening and adapting care to the person, not just the plan. Anyone can be affected by pressure ulcers, spanning all ages and every care location: home, hospital, care homes, emergency systems (A&E and ambulances) and hospices. That’s why all our carers go through training that covers a full module on pressure sores and redness of the skin to ensure our teams are equipped to spot the first signs of a pressure sore.

Your mental health is more than a small part of your life; it is integral to every moment, affecting your motivation, your relationships, and how you see yourself. It matters on the busy, unpredictable days and the quiet, ordinary ones, too.

On World Mental Health Day, we would like to highlight the importance of prioritising our wellbeing. Taking care of your mind is vital for living a full life and inspiring a brighter tomorrow.💙

Check in with yourself and those you love today.

Are you aware of the hidden dangers of unregulated care?
In the past couple of months, we have heard horrible stories from people who have experienced unregulated home care services. It is clear that many people don’t know the difference between regulated and unregulated care and the article below highlights the main differences between them both and if saving money is worth the risk.

Here are some of the differences between regulated and unregulated care:
💙Regulated care is provided by care providers that are licensed and inspected by independent bodies (CQC & CIW), meeting certain standards of quality and safety.

🧡Unregulated care is provided by individuals or agencies that are not licensed or inspected. This means that there is no guarantee of quality or safety.

💙Regulated care includes personal care (dressing, washing, continence, or any medical care), complex care (stoma, PEG feeding, tracheostomy, etc.) as well as light domestic tasks

🧡 Unregulated care is limited to companionship and light cleaning, meaning that if your needs become more complex, your unregulated carer won’t be able to help, leaving you vulnerable.

We, at Alcedo Care, are proud to be a regulated care provider, ensuring that all our clients receive the best quality of care possible and to give a peace of mind to their family and loved ones.
