🎉 Huge Congratulations to Lila Kingsland! 🎉

We’re absolutely delighted to celebrate Lila’s fantastic achievement in gaining a Merit in her Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker Apprenticeship! 🌟

Lila has worked incredibly hard to achieve this qualification, building on her earlier success in completing her Level 2 in Adult Health and Social Care.

We are so proud of how far Lila has come since joining us over two years ago. Gaining two diplomas in such a short space of time is a remarkable accomplishment and reflects her dedication, maturity, and commitment to learning and progressing in her career.

Lila is an absolute pleasure to have on our team, and we hope she feels as proud of herself as we are of her! 💙👏

With fireworks coming up this week supporting loved ones during fireworks can help create a calmer experience for those with dementia.

Prepare in Advance:
Let the person know that fireworks are likely to happen. Use simple, reassuring language and repeat information as needed.

Create a Calm Environment:
Close curtains and windows to reduce noise and flashes. Play soothing music or familiar TV shows to help mask the sound.

Stay Together:
Offer reassurance by staying close. Your presence can help reduce anxiety.

Use Comfort Items:
Have familiar objects, blankets, or favourite snacks nearby to provide comfort.

Avoid Surprises:
If possible, avoid taking the person outside during fireworks displays, as the unpredictability can be overwhelming.

Michaela Spring – Our Incredible Field Supervisor

We’re delighted to shine this month’s spotlight on Michaela Spring, one of our longest-serving and most dedicated team members here at Tavy Care Services. Michaela has been with us for over 10 years, and in that time, she has grown into her role as a fantastic Field Supervisor, supporting both our team and clients with her wealth of knowledge and kindness.

With more than 20 years of experience in health and social care, Michaela’s journey began with a weekend job in a care home. From there, she moved into domiciliary care in her home county of Cornwall, before relocating to Devon to work at Derriford Hospital. Her career then took her through various care homes in Tavistock and Plymouth, as well as Tavistock Hospital, before she finally joined us here at Tavy Care.
This incredible breadth of experience means Michaela brings invaluable skills and understanding to her role every single day, especially when it comes to supporting those with complex needs.

Since joining us, Michaela has also embraced her most important role yet — becoming a proud mum of two! Despite the demands of family life, she has always returned to our team with the same dedication, professionalism, and warmth that makes her such a valued colleague.

Outside of work, Michaela loves nothing more than spending time with her partner and children. She’s also recently taken up ladies’ football, where her competitive streak shines through — just as it does when she’s playing darts in the local league!

We feel so lucky to have Michaela on our team. Her passion, experience, and enthusiasm are a true inspiration to us all, and we can’t wait to see all she continues to achieve.

On 1st November 2014, Tavy Care Services began with just Janine Wiles and one carer carrying out all the visits. Since then, we’ve gone from strength to strength, welcoming many wonderful carers through our doors over the years. 🌟

Today, we’re proud that over 50% of our current team have been with us for more than 5 years – a true testament to their dedication and loyalty. 🫶

At Tavy Care, we know that a company is only as strong as the team behind it. Our carers work tirelessly through constant changes and challenges in the sector, adapting to the ever-evolving needs of our clients.

Domiciliary care is unique in that no two days are ever the same – and our team rises to that challenge every single day.

A huge thank you to every member of the Tavy Care team, past and present, who has helped us reach this amazing milestone. 🙏🙌

Here’s to the next chapter! 💙

Reminder! The clocks go back this weekend ⏰

Changing the clocks can be confusing for all of us – but for someone living with dementia it can be particularly disorientating and even distressing.

Thankfully there are a few easy things we can do to help minimise any disruption.

Consider having dinner and going to bed an hour earlier on Saturday, so that the person you’re caring for still gets enough sleep and can wake up at their usual time on Sunday.

Keep to a regular routine during the day and at bedtime. Doing regular activities at the same time each day – for example, going for a walk after breakfast – can help a person with dementia make sense of the time.

Gentle exercise outdoors can help the person feel sleepier during the evening. If this isn’t an option, keeping them active during the day can have a similar effect.

Use blackout curtains to reduce sunlight in the evening to help with body clock regulation.

Invest in an auto-setting clock for them. Reading a clock face can be tricky for some people with dementia, so often digital clocks are easier. You can also get clocks that show the day of the week and date as well as the time, and for some people a day/night clock can help them distinguish what time of day it is.

⭐Focus on staff ⭐

Today we focus on Jess Tawn.

We’re thrilled to introduce Jess, who has been an integral part of the Tavy Care team for nearly 8 years. Jess joined us in her first role in adult health and social care and has grown tremendously since then, now flourishing as one of our brilliant Field Supervisors.

Jess holds a Level 3 Diploma in Adult Health and Social Care and is set to undertake her Level 4 qualification.

She comes from a farming background and use to have a real love for her cows and looking after them. Jess lives locally with her husband, whom she married last year, and her beloved dogs.

Outside of work, Jess is a keen horse rider. Jess used to do eventing with the horses but now enjoys low level competing and hacking. Jess spends much of her free time with her horses and family.

Within Tavy Care, Jess is highly respected by both staff and clients for her knowledge, calm approach, and ability to solve problems effectively. She has a great attention to detail and approaches her leadership role with positivity, compassion and encouragement, making her a valued and popular member of our team.

We’re so proud to have Jess bringing her expertise and heart to Tavy Care every day!
