With temperatures forecasted to drop across the UK over the next few days, it’s important to make sure that we’re looking out for our loved ones living with dementia.

Winter can be a particularly difficult time for somebody living with dementia. The bad weather and colder temperatures can bring specific challenges, and can sometimes make symptoms temporarily worse.

They may not always be able to communicate that they are cold – or they might not even recognise it themselves.

Perception issues can also make it difficult for someone with dementia to see icy patches on a pavement or understand that a surface may be extra slippery.

So make sure to check in regularly on loved ones, friends and neighbours living with dementia, and follow our useful tips to help support them through the winter.

Many of our team will not be able to stop to take part in the 2 mins silence due to the nature of our work, but it does not mean we care any less.

We will remember them! 😔

Today many towns, cities and villages have had parades, services of remembrance and have laid wreaths to pay tribute to all those who lost their lives in the name of war 😔

Tewkesbury’s parade, service and wreath laying made us extra proud to be part of this community, as it does every year. 🇬🇧

We will remember them and all those affected by their sacrifices. ❤️

We may be a team of ladies but we love nothing more than taking care of our male clients as well as our male loved ones.

They may be less likely to seek help or book appointments for themselves so sometimes they need a gentle nudge, an appointment made on their behalf and maybe even a hand to hold to go with them. ❤️

Guys, we have got you. 🫵🏻
You are not on your own. 💕
We can do this together. 👫
It’s always better to get checked. ✅

Today Vicki (MD) & Zoe (Area Manager) attended the inaugural meeting of the Care Excellence Network Gloucestershire! ✨

Vicki said “It was great to hear that so many Social Care professionals are all striving to support our communities to a high standard.

It was especially nice to hear from the lovely Miss B who is an “Expert by Experience”. She explained what she needs from the services who support her. ❤️

We are looking forward to working together and learning more about better ways to suppprt our clients and our team.”

With Halloween night fast approaching please be mindful of elderly, disabled and/or anxious neighbours.

The additional noise in the streets as well as lots of children and adults dressed up in the neighbourhood can be very confusing and distressing. 🥺

We would encourage anyone who doesn’t want to be disturbed, or to stop loved ones being disturbed, please print out this poster by Gloucestershire Constabulary and put it on the front door.

If you are planning on going out Trick or Treating we would suggest only knocking on doors with lights on, Halloween decorations and/or pumpkins outside or prearrange to visit families & friends.

Here’s wishing a safe and stress free Halloween for all! 👯‍♀️
