Supporting Older People’s Health & Wellbeing in December: Why This Month Matters🌺

December is a month filled with celebration, reflection, and togetherness — but for many older people, it can also be a time of increased vulnerability. Shorter days, colder weather, and the pressure of the festive season can all have a meaningful impact on physical health, mental wellbeing, and social connection.

By understanding the challenges and opportunities of this time of year, families, communities, and local organisations can make December a month of comfort, joy, and better wellbeing for older adults.

🌧️ Winter Health Challenges for Older People

As temperatures drop, the risks to older people’s physical health naturally rise:

1. Increased risk of falls
Slippery pavements, reduced daylight, and muscle stiffness in the cold can make everyday movement harder and more risky.

2. Respiratory infections
Flu, COVID-19, and winter colds can pose more serious threats for older adults. Staying up to date with vaccinations and maintaining warm, well-ventilated homes is essential.

3. Lower activity levels
Cold weather can discourage movement, leading to stiffness, reduced mobility, and loss of strength — all of which significantly impact independence.

💛 Emotional Wellbeing During the Festive Season

Although December is traditionally a joyful month, many older people experience:

Loneliness, especially if they’re widowed or live alone

A sense of loss as they remember loved ones who are no longer here

Overwhelm if routines change or social events feel too busy

Cognitive fatigue, which can be especially difficult for those living with dementia

This is why creating calm, meaningful, and inclusive festive environments matters more than ever.

🎄 The Power of Connection in December

Simple acts can make a huge difference:

A weekly visit

A phone call on dark evenings

Inviting an older neighbour to local community events

Sharing a warm drink and conversation

Sending a handwritten card

Connection isn’t about grand gestures — it’s about presence, acknowledgment, and consistency.

🎄Dementia and Christmas: Making the festivities Calm and Meaningful🎄

Christmas is a special time of year, but it can be overwhelming for someone living with dementia. Busy environments, bright decorations, and changes in routine may lead to confusion or stress. With a few simple adjustments, you can create a holiday that feels comfortable and joyful for everyone.🌺

Keep It Familiar

Routines bring comfort. Try to keep daily schedules as normal as possible and introduce holiday activities slowly. 🏠

Create a Calm Space

Choose soft lighting, simple decorations, and avoid loud or crowded environments. Too much noise or clutter can be confusing.🛏️

Choose Simple, Meaningful Activities

Activities like listening to familiar Christmas music, looking through photos, baking together, or watching classic films can spark happy memories without pressure.🥣

Prepare Visitors

Let guests know what to expect and encourage gentle, one-on-one interactions. A calm approach helps everyone feel more at ease.👨‍👨‍👧

Watch for Tiredness

Even fun moments can be exhausting. Offer quiet breaks and keep gatherings short if needed.🎄

Involve Them in Small Ways

Simple tasks—folding napkins, stirring ingredients, choosing music—help the person feel included and valued.🎵

Christmas doesn’t need to be perfect or busy to be meaningful. With patience, understanding, and a focus on comfort, families can enjoy a warm and peaceful festive season together.🥰

🏡 At Everycare Central Hants, We Care About What Matters Most

At Everycare Central Hants, our mission is simple: to provide compassionate, reliable, and personalised care that helps people live safely, comfortably, and independently in their own homes.

We understand that every person’s needs are different — that’s why our care is tailored to each individual. Whether it’s just a couple of hours a week to help with daily tasks, or daily visits to support personal care, meals, medication, or companionship, our team is here to make a real difference.

🌟 Why Community Care Matters
Being able to stay at home is more than convenience — it’s about dignity, independence, and wellbeing. Community care ensures that people can continue living in the environment they know and love, with familiar routines and connections to friends, family, and their wider community.

Independence: We help people maintain control over their lives while receiving the support they need.

Flexibility: Care can be tailored from short weekly visits to daily support, adapting as needs change.

Companionship & Wellbeing: Our carers do more than assist with daily tasks — they offer friendship, conversation, and reassurance.

Peace of Mind: Families can rest easy knowing that their loved ones are safe, supported, and cared for by trained, professional staff.

💛 Our Promise
At Everycare, we don’t just provide care — we build relationships, nurture trust, and make a positive impact on the lives of those we look after. Every visit is an opportunity to brighten someone’s day, support their independence, and reinforce the importance of community care.

Because we know that even a few hours a week of quality support can make a world of difference, we strive to deliver the best care possible — every day, every visit, for everyone we support.

🥗 UK Malnutrition Awareness Week

“Ask • Look • Listen” — Supporting Good Nutrition in Later Life

This week marks UK Malnutrition Awareness Week, a national campaign highlighting the importance of recognising and preventing malnutrition — especially among older adults and vulnerable people living at home.

At Everycare Central Hants, we see every day how good nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining strength, independence, and overall wellbeing. Yet malnutrition often goes unnoticed, and many families aren’t aware of the early signs.

Today, we’re joining the national call to Ask, Look and Listen 👇

🔍 ASK

Check in regularly with loved ones about eating habits:
• Are they eating full meals?
• Is preparing food becoming harder?
• Do they enjoy eating, or has appetite changed?

Even small changes can be early indicators of risk.

👀 LOOK

Spot visible signs of malnutrition, such as:
• Loose-fitting clothes
• Unplanned weight loss
• Empty food cupboards
• Difficulty cooking, shopping, or keeping track of meals

Carers often notice these subtle changes first — and early action makes a big difference.

👂 LISTEN

Some people may feel embarrassed to talk about not eating well or struggling at home.
Listen for comments like:
• “I’m not hungry much these days.”
• “Cooking feels like too much effort.”
• “I just have toast most days.”

These could be gentle prompts that more support is needed.

💛 How Everycare Central Hants Helps

Our care team supports clients with:
✔ Meal preparation and nutritious meal planning
✔ Regular hydration reminders
✔ Gentle encouragement for healthy eating
✔ Monitoring changes in appetite or weight
✔ Liaising with family members and healthcare professionals when needed

Good nutrition isn’t just about food — it’s about confidence, dignity, and maintaining independence at home.

If you’re concerned about a loved one, or simply want advice on helping someone eat well at home, our team is always here to help.
💙 Send us a message or give us a call for friendly guidance.

Together, let’s raise awareness — and help make malnutrition a thing of the past.

💡 Care Tip of the Week – Creating a Safer Home Environment for Loved Ones

Keeping a loved one safe at home doesn’t always require major changes—often, it’s the small adjustments that make the biggest difference. One of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of falls and improve confidence at home is simply improving the lighting and layout of everyday spaces.

✨ Why Lighting Matters
As we get older, our eyes naturally need more light to see clearly. Dim hallways, shadowy corners, and poorly lit stairways can become difficult to navigate, especially for those living with reduced mobility or memory challenges.
A few thoughtful changes can make the home feel brighter, safer, and easier to move around in.

Here are some simple steps families can take:

🔸 1. Improve Lighting in Key Areas

Replace low-wattage bulbs with brighter, warm-toned LED lights.

Add night lights in hallways, bedrooms, and bathrooms to make night-time trips easier.

Use motion-sensor lights for stairs or landings so loved ones don’t need to fumble for switches.

🔸 2. Reduce Clutter in Walkways

Items like loose rugs, shoes, bags, or small tables can easily become trip hazards.
Consider rearranging furniture to create clear, wide pathways—especially between the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.

🔸 3. Make Frequently Used Items Easy to Reach

Reaching up high or bending down low can be risky. Store everyday items such as cups, plates, medication, and toiletries at waist or chest height to avoid unnecessary stretching or over-balancing.

🔸 4. Check Flooring for Safety

Ensure carpets are secure at the edges, and consider using non-slip mats in bathrooms or kitchens where floors can get wet.

🔸 5. Encourage Regular Vision Checks

Sometimes reduced visibility isn’t caused by the home but by outdated glasses prescriptions or undiagnosed eye changes. An annual eye exam can make a big difference in safety and confidence.
