🌱 Hello February! Welcoming New Beginnings with Right at Home 🌱

As we welcome 1st February, we’re beginning to notice those small but hopeful signs of new life appearing in our gardens. After taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch last week, everyone at Right at Home is appreciating their outdoor spaces that little bit more, even while the cold, damp weather still lingers.

From snowdrops pushing through the soil to birds returning to feeders, February is a gentle reminder that brighter days are on the horizon. Taking a moment to connect with nature, whatever the weather, can bring comfort, positivity and a real boost to wellbeing.

🐦 Did you catch Friday’s post?
Be sure to take a look at our homemade bird feeder recipe, shared from our recent Tea & Talk event - a simple, feel-good activity that’s perfect for enjoying at home while supporting your local wildlife.

Thank you for this wonderful feedback. Our priority at Right at Home is always to support our Clients' independence and help them live well on their own terms. We adapt your tailored Care & Support Plan with you, reducing or increasing care in line with your preferences and evolving care requirements.

"From the first telephone contact I felt we were in safe and caring hands to help my mother move home again after a year of turbulent ill health and 6 months of rehabilitation in a care home. Right at Home were able to be so flexible and move us from live-in homecare to a gradually reducing schedule of visiting carers. The whole team took the trouble to understand what was important to us and that increasing independence was my mother's main priority."

🎗️ January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️

Cervical cancer is highly preventable, yet early detection is crucial. Regular cervical screenings (smear tests) can save lives by detecting changes in cervical cells before they become cancerous.

If you’re due for your screening, don’t put it off - attending your appointments could make all the difference. Your health matters, and early detection is key 🧡

For more information and guidance on cervical screenings, please click the link below.

For Cervical Screening Awareness Week, we answer some common questions about cervical screening, including what to expect at a smear test.

🐦 RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch Starts Today 🐦

The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch kicks off today - a simple but powerful way to support local wildlife and enjoy your garden a little more during the colder months. With winter still upon us, feeding birds and providing fresh water can make a real difference.

At Right at Home, care sits at the heart of everything we do. Looking after people, communities and the world around us, including our wildlife, reflects our values of kindness, compassion and connection.

🌿 A few minutes, a warm cuppa, and a garden full of life.
What better reason to step outside this winter?

The RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) is charity for the conservation of birds & wildlife. We bring people together who love nature and want to take action to restore it
