Hi, my name is Julie and I am the owner of Home Instead Colchester. For quite some time, I had been looking to set up my own business and considered many different options. I then came across Home Instead Senior Care and really liked what they had to say about changing the face of ageing. Their whole ethos is about providing the highest quality care that will enable people to carry on living at ho

me as long as possible. I could really relate to this as I spent many years caring for my mother and was determined to keep her at home as long as possible. She suffered from osteoporosis, a heart condition and dementia and sadly, passed away in November 2010. My mother and I also looked after my father at home when he was dying from lung cancer. It was his one wish to die at home so between us we managed, and he got his wish. I feel really lucky and privileged to be part of such a fantastic organisation. It has given me the opportunity to run my own business whilst providing a quality service that I passionately believe in. What I also love about Home Instead Senior Care is in addition to providing a home help service and personal care service, we also offer a companionship service. To have a friendly face calling in to have a chat and reminisce about the past can make such a difference to someone’s life. These are just two very small examples of the companionship service but either one of them can really make a difference! The Colchester Home Instead Senior Care Office is part of a global network of more than 900 locally owned and operated offices.

Caring for a loved one isn’t always easy — and you don’t have to do it alone.

In fact, almost two-thirds of family carers say they wish they had more support.

The early signs that someone needs extra help can be easy to miss.

They are things like skipping meals, struggling to get around, or withdrawing from others. These might seem small at first, but can mean a lot.

When you’re caught up in the day-to-day, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed — and that’s where we come in.

If you're wondering what to do next, we’re here to guide you.

For practical advice on spotting the signs and finding the right support for you and your loved one, give us a call.

Gardening Is Great for Older Adults 🌼

It offers a wide range of health and wellbeing benefits. It’s a gentle form of exercise that helps improve mobility, flexibility, and strength, while also encouraging time outdoors for fresh air and essential Vitamin D.

Beyond the physical perks, gardening has a calming effect on the mind. It reduces stress, boosts mood, and provides a sense of peace and purpose. For those living with dementia, familiar gardening tasks and natural scents can help stimulate memory and improve focus.

Gardening also supports cognitive health by keeping the brain active through planning and problem-solving. Plus, it’s a great way to stay socially connected — whether that’s chatting with neighbours in a community garden or enjoying time outdoors with family members.

Perhaps most importantly, gardening gives a sense of achievement. Watching something grow — from a tiny seed to a blooming flower or a ripe tomato — brings real joy and satisfaction.

Whether it’s potting plants, watering flowers, or tending to a vegetable patch, gardening is a simple and meaningful way to stay active, connected, and happy.

This Easter Monday, why not encourage your loved one to enjoy some gardening.🌱💚
