🚧 Important Travel Update for Our Care Visits 🚧

We’ve been made aware of an emergency road closure from 8pm this evening (Tuesday 10th February 2026) on Halifax Road.

📍 The closure will be in place between:

➡️ The junction with Stoodley Glen (Todmorden side)
➡️ The lay-by outside the property known as Rivendell (Hebden Bridge side)

🚗 What this means for our care service:

✅ The road will be closed in both directions
✅ Our care team has been notified and alternative routes are in place

⏰ All care visits will continue as planned, although some carers may arrive slightly earlier or later to allow for safe diversions

📞 Important for carers:

If you are delayed, unsure of the diversion, or experience any issues reaching a visit, please liaise with the on-call manager immediately so support can be provided.

➡️ Official diversion route:

🛣️ Please follow the A58 via Littleborough and Cragg Vale

⚠️ Please note:

🚜 Please avoid smaller country lanes around Todmorden, as they are not suitable for heavy or increased traffic.

💚 Thank you to our carers for your flexibility and professionalism, and thank you to our service users and families for your understanding. Safety and continuity of care remain our priority 💚

✨ Today marks 5 years of Libra Support Services ✨

Five years ago, Libra Support Services was founded by Nicola, Owner / Director and Registered Manager, and her husband Jason, with one clear aim: to provide compassionate, high-quality care that truly puts people first.

Nicola has strong local roots. She previously lived in Padiham before moving back to Todmorden, where Libra Support Services was established and has proudly supported the local community and surrounding areas for many years.

More recently, Nicola and her family have moved back to Burnley, where she now lives in the BB10 area with her husband Jason and daughters Helena and Esme, who all work within the business — truly making Libra a family-led service in every sense 🧡

💚 Why choose Libra Support Services?
• A local, family-led service
• Strong community focus
• Real connections
• Rated GOOD by the CQC

We’re delighted to now be offering our services in the BB10 area, alongside our continued commitment to Todmorden and surrounding communities.

Thank you to our wonderful team for their commitment, the people we support, and our community for being part of the Libra journey over the last five years. Here’s to the future 💚✨

🟢🟠 Medication safety matters – and we go further

At Libra Support Services, the safety of the people we support is at the heart of everything we do.

That’s why we carry out daily medication audits 💊 — something that remains very unusual in home care.

Medication errors are one of the most common risks in domiciliary care, often caused by missed doses, hospital discharges, medication changes, or unclear instructions.

By auditing medications every single day, we are able to:

✔️ Spot issues early
✔️ Respond quickly to concerns
✔️ Liaise promptly with families, pharmacies and healthcare professionals
✔️ Reduce risk and increase peace of mind

We don’t do this because we have to. We do it because it keeps people safer — and because prevention is always better than reaction.

🟢🟠 Safe care isn’t a slogan. It’s a daily commitment.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for highlighting the importance of working together locally. We really value our relationship with Cherry Blossom and the compassionate, person-centred support Mel provides. It’s reassuring to know we can refer people with confidence, knowing they’ll be met with such kindness and care. Together, we truly can make a difference ❤️🌸

🌸 Working Together in Todmorden 🌸
At Cherry Blossom, we believe in the power of community and collaboration. Recently, i had the pleasure of reconnecting with my friends at Libra Support Services a company that provides personal care to those in need. They reached out about a potential client who needed companionship—something that perfectly aligns with our mission at Cherry Blossom.
It’s moments like these that remind us of the importance of supporting one another and ensuring that everyone in Todmorden receives the care and kindness they deserve. Together, we can make a difference! 💕

🎂 Supporting Local & Feeling the Love 🎂

We want to give a huge shout-out to Amy at Crumb & Get It for such a kind and thoughtful gesture 💐

Amy very generously gifted our Registered Manager, Nicola, some of her absolutely delicious cakes to help celebrate her birthday tomorrow — and they are every bit as amazing as they look (and taste! 😋).

We’re big believers in supporting local businesses, especially ones that support others with such genuine kindness.

Thank you, Amy — your thoughtfulness hasn’t gone unnoticed and means a lot to us 💛

If you haven’t tried Crumb and Get It yet, you’re missing out!

💛 Tax Year End Reminder: Doing Care the Right Way Matters! 💛

As the tax year wraps up, it’s a great time to remember why paying taxes properly matters in care:

✅ Safe, regulated services for clients
✅ Security and protections for our staff
✅ Sustainable, reliable care
✅ A stronger local community

Paying taxes isn’t just about numbers — it’s about doing right by the people we care for and the community we serve.

Thank you for supporting safe, ethical, and sustainable care! 💛
