Remember, Remember…. Safety this Bonfire Night in The High Peak

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.

When someone you care about starts showing signs of memory loss, confusion, or changes in behaviour, it can feel worrying and overwhelming. But one of the most powerful things family and friends can do is gently encourage them to get tested.

🧠 Early testing can:
✔️ Provide answers and peace of mind
✔️ Open the door to treatments and support
✔️ Help families plan together for the future

How to get diagnosed:
1️⃣ Start with the GP (family doctor): They’ll ask about symptoms, medical history, and may do memory or thinking tests.
2️⃣ Blood tests & physical exam: To rule out other causes like vitamin deficiencies or thyroid problems.
3️⃣ Specialist referral: The GP may refer to a memory clinic, neurologist, or psychiatrist for further assessments.
4️⃣ Brain scans (if needed): These can help rule out other conditions and support a diagnosis.

If you notice changes in a loved one, approach with kindness. Try saying things like:
👉 “I’ve noticed you’ve been forgetting things more often—maybe we could check in with a doctor together?”
👉 “It would give me peace of mind if we got this looked at.”
👉 “You’re not alone—I’ll be with you every step of the way.”

Dementia doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed—it touches everyone around them. By encouraging testing and helping them take those first steps, you’re showing love, care, and the hope of giving them the best possible quality of life.

💜 Recognizing the Early Signs of Alzheimer’s 💜

September is Alzheimer’s Awareness month to spread the word we’ve put together a few early sings to look out for.

Alzheimer’s doesn’t happen all at once. It often begins with small changes that can be easy to overlook. Spotting the signs early can make a big difference in getting support and care. 💜

Here are some early symptoms to watch for:
🧠 Memory loss that disrupts daily life (forgetting recent events or asking the same questions repeatedly)
🧠 Difficulty planning or solving problems (struggling to follow a recipe, manage bills, or keep track of numbers)
🧠 Trouble completing familiar tasks (like getting lost on a routine route or forgetting how to use common tools)
🧠 Confusion with time or place (losing track of dates, seasons, or where they are)
🧠 Problems with speaking or writing (finding it hard to join conversations or repeating themselves)
🧠 Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
🧠 Decreased judgment (poor decision-making or neglecting self-care)
🧠 Withdrawal from work, hobbies, or social activities
🧠 Changes in mood or personality (becoming confused, suspicious, depressed, or anxious)

💡 If you notice these signs in yourself or someone you love, it’s important to reach out to a doctor. Early support and understanding can truly help.
Let’s spread awareness and compassion. 💜

Remember Never too early, Never too late
