At Aria Care, Black History Month is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s a time to recognise, reflect on, and celebrate the incredible richness of Black culture, history, and the contributions that have shaped our communities, both within our homes and beyond.

Throughout October, our communities are marking the month in meaningful ways, with storytelling, music, food, conversations and shared experiences that bring people together.

In this video, Catia Pereira, Home Manager at Huntercombe Hall, shares how her team and residents are celebrating Black History Month, embracing the diverse backgrounds of those who live and work in the home.

We’re incredibly proud of the diversity across our Aria Care teams, all united in delivering care from the heart every single day.

🌟 We’re so proud! 🌟

As we look ahead to the Love Laundry Awards tomorrow, we want to take a moment to recognise some of the unsung heroes in care – our amazing housekeeping and laundry teams.

These incredible individuals work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure our homes are clean, comfortable, and safe, playing a vital role in infection control, dignity in care, and the everyday wellbeing of our residents.

We’re absolutely thrilled that Sharon from Belmont House and Paul, our Group Hospitality Manager, have been named as finalists in this year’s awards!

✨ Sharon is shortlisted for the Environmental Sustainability Champion award for her commitment to greener laundry practices.

✨ Paul is recognised in the Laundry Leadership category for his vision, dedication, and impact across our homes.

These awards are all about celebrating the people who go above and beyond every single day, and we couldn’t be prouder of Sharon, Paul, and all our teams.

Good luck tomorrow, and thank you for everything you do. You are truly appreciated.

Happy Grandparents Day!

We're celebrating the special moments that bring generations together — like this touching video call between a resident at our Southborough care home and their matched volunteer through the Adopt a Grandparent initiative.

At Aria Care, we know how powerful connection can be. Thanks to our partnership with Adopt a Grandparent, residents are carefully matched with volunteers who share similar interests, backgrounds, or languages — creating meaningful friendships that brighten lives.

A simple chat, a shared laugh, or even a smile over video can make a world of difference.

Looking for ways to connect with your own grandparents or loved ones in care? We've put together a helpful guide filled with conversation starters for all ages, especially useful for families visiting those living with dementia.

Today is the International Day of Older Persons, a special moment to reflect on just how much older people bring to our lives: not only as individuals, but as the heart of our families, communities, and collective story.

At Aria Care, we’re honoured to care for incredible residents whose lives are filled with wisdom, laughter, and love. Their stories inspire us every single day.

Growing older isn’t just a chapter we go through - it’s one where we grow together. Through our approach to care – care from the heart - we’re proud to put people first, listen, and celebrate the journeys that have shaped who they are.

Their story becomes part of all of ours, creating a legacy that teaches, touches, and transforms.

Let’s take a moment today to thank the older people in our lives for everything they’ve given, and continue to give.

It’s Hospitality Apprenticeship Week, and we’re celebrating the amazing people behind the food!

This year’s theme, “Powered by People,” is a perfect reminder that it’s the skills, stories and passion of individuals that truly shape the hospitality industry, and that’s especially in care.

At Aria Care, our hospitality teams do so much more than prepare meals; they create comfort, bring joy, and support wellbeing in every one of our homes. And our apprentices are a big part of that!

Whether they’re just starting out or training to become future head chefs, we’re proud to support them every step of the way, with hands-on experience, ongoing training, and real career opportunities.

To all our incredible apprentices: thank you, for everything you do. Your hard work, talent and dedication make a real impact every single day.

As World Alzheimer’s Month comes to a close at the end of September, we’re reflecting on the importance of continuing open and honest conversations about dementia — something that affects millions of people around the world.
At Aria Care, everything we do is driven by “care from the heart.” We believe person-centred care is key, especially for those living with dementia. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, because every person’s journey is different.
Our Dementia Wellbeing Manager, Michele Saunders, explains how we support our residents and their families through connection, understanding, and meaningful activities, all grounded in love.
She spoke with B Radio earlier this month about how we approach dementia care at Aria Care. You can listen to the full conversation here:
🎧 https://www.bradio.co.uk/podcasts/alzheimers-awareness-month/episode/aria-care-michele-saunders/
Let’s keep the conversation going, not just this month, but every day. 💜

25/09/2025

At Aria Care, we believe that every person living with dementia deserves care that’s not only clinically safe and effective, but also compassionate, dignified, and truly person-centred.

That’s why we created our “Living with Heart, Loving with Care” dementia strategy.

Our goal is simple: to help every resident living with dementia lead the best life possible, filled with independence, meaning, and purpose for as long as possible.

Here’s how we’re making that happen:
✅ Welcoming and inclusive care across all our homes
✅ Stronger partnerships with our local communities
✅ Ongoing support for families and loved ones
✅ Training that empowers our teams and celebrates individuality
✅ Using creativity and technology to boost wellbeing

We know that when we celebrate diversity, work together, and care from the heart, we can make a real difference — not just in care, but in people’s lives.

Check out the infographic below to see the 7 key priorities that guide our dementia strategy.

September is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month — a cause that’s especially close to our hearts here at Aria Care.

Did you know that around two-thirds of people living with dementia in the UK have Alzheimer’s? We know how challenging the journey can be, not just for those diagnosed, but for their loved ones too.

That’s why we’ve developed our dementia strategy: “Living with heart, loving with care.”

With the incredible leadership of our Dementia Manager, Michele Saunders, we’re bringing this strategy to life across all our homes — supporting our residents with compassion, and making sure families feel heard, understood, and never alone.

One of the most meaningful parts of this journey is becoming Dementia Friends through the Alzheimer’s Society. This means:
✅ Better awareness and understanding
✅ Practical support for families
✅ Dedicated Dementia Ambassadors in every Aria home

These ambassadors are here as friendly faces and listening ears — supporting our residents living with dementia, and building trusted relationships with families.

Michele’s goal is simple, but powerful: “To make sure no family has to navigate dementia alone.”

We’re proud of the difference our teams are making every day.

21/09/2025

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day.

At Aria Care, supporting people living with Alzheimer’s is about so much more than meeting clinical needs; it’s about creating moments of connection, joy and respect. It's about care from the heart.

As Latoya, Home Manager at Wytham House, shares in this video, our approach includes:

🌸 Person-centred care
🎶 Activities, like music, arts and crafts, and time outdoors
🤝 Supporting families with workshops and one-to-one sessions

Because even the smallest gestures - a smile, a touch, a conversation - can make a big difference.

Join us in wearing purple today to show support for everyone living with Alzheimer’s and for the families and carers who stand beside them. 💜

🎤 Yesterday afternoon I was delighted to sing once again for our wonderful residents here in Marchglen. To see them smiling and singing along is fantastic. Here’s a short clip from one of the songs. I love to sing, away from my usual role as administrator and under my ‘Michael Sacoma’ name, and hope to do so for many years to come.
