Worried about Mum ( or Dad!) after the festive break?
Here’s what to look for
Notice small changes - seeming more tired, routines slipping, or daily tasks feeling harder. This doesn’t mean something is wrong, but it can be a good time to offer gentle support.
Things to watch for:
• Everyday tasks like cooking, shopping or housework becoming harder
• Changes in personal care or missed medication
• Repeated confusion or memory slips
• Feeling lonely once the Christmas rush fades
Small ways to help:
• Share meals, help with shopping or errands
• Keep routines simple and consistent
• Encourage hobbies, gentle activities and social connections
• Stay in touch with regular calls or visits
Trust your instincts.
If you’ve felt worried this season, start with a conversation and take things one step at a time.
At Guardian Angel Carers, we’re here to listen and help you think through what support might help next.
