🧡💚 A Huge Congratulations to Kelly! 💚🧡

We are absolutely delighted to share that Kelly has successfully passed her CQC interview and is now the Registered Manager for Libra Support Services in Todmorden 🎉

Since joining us, Kelly has been nothing short of phenomenal. Her dedication, efficiency, and unwavering commitment to both our team and the people we support has made such a positive impact across the service.

Over the past few years, Kelly has been an incredible support as Deputy Manager — and her contribution was paramount during our CQC inspection, helping us achieve our ‘Good’ rating. This is something we are incredibly proud of, and Kelly played a huge part in making that happen.

Her hard work and passion have truly shone through, and this achievement is so well deserved.

We are incredibly proud and absolutely thrilled for you, Kelly — congratulations on this amazing milestone 👏

Social prescribing connects people to non-medical support to address social issues and other unmet needs.

This could involve a Social Prescribing Link Worker:

🔵Helping someone who is isolated join a befriending group, an art class or a community gardening project, based on what works for them.
🔵Connecting someone struggling with financial stress to a service that helps with managing debt or claiming benefits.
🔵Supporting someone with dementia to join a dementia choir, enabling them to maintain a sense of social connection.
🔵Working with someone with high blood pressure to take up a form of exercise that they’re comfortable with.

Social prescribing can help change the circumstances that can make people unwell. It can empower people to manage existing health problems, to get the right benefits or get back into employment. It can help people to connect and to grow in confidence.

You can self refer by contacting your GP practice and asking for the Social Prescribing Team.

A really useful post from Dementia UK with practical tips on supporting someone with dementia—well worth a read 🧡💚

'What do I say to someone with dementia in residential care who wants to go home?'

It's not uncommon for a person with dementia to say they want to go home. This can be caused by time shifting or general confusion, which can be distressing for everyone.

It can be difficult to know what to say or how to handle this situation to help minimise the person’s distress as much as possible.

Here are five things to remember when someone with dementia in care is asking to go home:

1. Avoid arguing about whether they are already ‘home'. When a person with dementia asks to go home it often refers to the sense of ‘home’ rather than the place itself.

2. Reassure them of their safety. They could be living somewhere different from where they have lived before and need to know they are cared for.

3. Establish whether or not they are feeling unhappy or lonely. Sometimes a person with dementia may want to ‘go home’ because they feel anxious or unhappy so establishing their mood can help understand more.

4. Try diverting the conversation. Having a distraction like a book or photo, can help ease person’s feelings of anxiety by giving them a chance to reminisce.

5. Keep a log of when they are asking to go home. For example, is it later in the day and possibly due to sundowning? Is it near meal times or when the environment is noisier than usual?

⏰ Clocks Go Forward Tonight ⏰

A gentle reminder that the clocks go forward tonight, meaning we lose an hour as we move into lighter evenings 🌅

While many of us look forward to brighter days ahead, changes to routine and sleep can sometimes feel a little unsettling—especially for those we support. It’s important to take things at a steady pace, allow time to adjust, and offer a little extra reassurance where needed 🧡💚

At Libra Support Services, we’re here to support every step of that transition, ensuring comfort, consistency, and care remain at the heart of everything we do.

Don’t forget to set your clocks forward before bed tonight!

💛 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month 💛

This month, we want to take a moment to recognise the strength, resilience, and daily challenges faced by those living with endometriosis.

Endometriosis is more than “just painful periods” — it can impact every part of someone’s life. From chronic pain and fatigue to the emotional toll it can bring, many people quietly battle symptoms that aren’t always visible to others.

At Libra Support Services, this is something close to our hearts. Our Registered Manager, Nicola, has lived with endometriosis throughout her adult life, so we truly understand just how difficult it can be to manage day-to-day while trying to live life to the fullest.

💬 We see you
💬 We hear you
💬 We stand with you

Let’s continue to raise awareness, show compassion, and support those affected — not just in March, but every day.

💛
