Today is Brew Monday, created by Samaritans to remind us there is no such thing as Blue Monday, but there is always time for a cuppa and a catch-up.

If someone older in your life has gone a bit quiet, today could be the day you send a text, pick up the phone or pop the kettle on together.

You do not need perfect words. Just listen, let them talk and stay present.

Supporting a loved one with dementia can feel especially hard in winter, with early evenings and changes to routine. Families can worry about safety, confusion and how to manage on tired days.

At Home Instead Bedford, our dementia care is built around familiar faces, regular visits and calm, unhurried support. We follow the person’s own pace, with help for washing, dressing, meals and gentle reminders.

We are also here for families, offering reassurance and time to rest.

Wet weather, darker evenings and clutter can make falls more likely.
During a visit, look for loose rugs, piles of shoes, trailing wires or poor lighting in hallways and on stairs.

A few ideas:
• Move small tables or stools out of walkways
• Add a lamp or brighter bulb where needed
• Keep favourite items within easy reach

These small changes can help someone move around with more confidence at home.

🌟 Celebrating Long Service at Home Instead Bedford 🌟
In social care, we all know it’s common for people to move on quickly. The work is meaningful, but it can also be challenging, and long service is becoming rarer across the industry.
That’s exactly why last week felt so incredibly special. 💙
We had the pleasure of celebrating some truly remarkable milestones within our team:
✨ Lynda – 10 years
✨ Chris – 10 years
✨ Lou – 9 years
✨ Sarah – 8 years
Between them, that’s decades of dedication, compassion, and consistency for our clients. What an achievement.
To mark the occasion, we took them out for a beautiful cream tea at The Swan Hotel in Bedford, where we shared memories, stories, and plenty of laughs. Each of them was presented with flowers and gifts as a small token of our huge appreciation.
Celebrating long service isn’t just about recognising time—it’s about acknowledging the heart, loyalty and commitment behind those years. Our care professionals are the reason clients feel safe, supported and valued. Their continuity makes a real difference to families, and plays a huge part in our success as a team and as a service.
I couldn’t be prouder of each of them. Thank you, Lynda, Chris, Lou, and Sarah, for everything you bring to Home Instead Bedford. Here’s to many more years of making a difference together. 💙✨

Cold weather and darker days can make everyday jobs feel harder. Simple tasks like changing bedding, carrying shopping or keeping on top of the washing can become a real worry.

Our Care Professionals can help with light housework, laundry, meal preparation, taking bins out and a bit of gentle sorting and tidying.

A little practical help can make home feel easier to manage. If you would like to chat about home help for yourself or a loved one, Home Instead is here to help.

Cold homes can affect both health and mood, especially in January.
If you are visiting an older loved one, notice whether the main rooms feel warm, if they have layers of clothing to hand and if hot drinks are easy to make.

Encourage them to:
• Heat the room they use most
• Keep slippers with good grip by the bed or chair
• Have a blanket nearby for extra warmth

If you are worried, speak to their GP or local support services for advice.

January can feel very quiet once the festive season is over, especially if someone is spending long hours at home on their own.

With Home Instead Bedford, companionship visits can include a chat over a cuppa, a board game, a short walk or watching a favourite programme together.

Regular friendly visits can break up the week and give families reassurance that someone is popping in. If this sounds helpful, our team at Home Instead is here to talk things through.
