On a day like today it would be rude not to repost this 💦

We all recognise the familiar feeling of being light-headed or lacking in energy because we’ve not drunk enough fluids.
These symptoms can have serious consequences if we allow them to continue.
This is especially true for older people or people with long term health conditions.
An obvious sign of dehydration is thirst. Other signs may include:
• Dry lips, mouth and skin
• Loss of appetite
• Light headedness or headaches
• Dark coloured and strong-smelling urine
Staying hydrated is vital to staying healthy. Let’s make drinking water a daily habit. 💧

Did you know that older adults are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses like heat stroke and dehydration? In the UK, thousands of heat-associated deaths each year affect people aged 65 and over, especially during periods of extreme heat.

Look out for those most at risk and make sure everyone stays safe and cool this summer!

Home holds more than memories - it holds identity. It’s in the smell of the Sunday roast. The worn patch on the hallway rug. The photo frames lining the staircase. That’s why our care begins right where your life has always been lived: at home.

📖💙 Sunday Reading: Understanding Self-Directed Support (SDS) in Scotland 💙📖

Did you know you have a say in how your care is delivered? 🌟 Thanks to Self-Directed Support (SDS) in Scotland, you can have more control over the care and support you receive, and even the financial support that comes with it.

Here’s a quick breakdown of SDS in Scotland and how it works:

What is SDS?
Self-Directed Support is a way to give you more choice and control over the care and support you receive. In Scotland, the SDS Act allows individuals to decide how their care is arranged and, depending on which option you choose, you may even manage the budget yourself.

The Four SDS Options in Scotland:
1️⃣ Option 1 – Direct Payment
You receive a personal budget, and you manage it yourself. This gives you the power to choose your own care providers, arrange the support that suits you, and even employ your own personal assistants. 💸
2️⃣ Option 2 – Individual Service Fund (ISF)
You choose a care provider, but they manage the budget on your behalf. This option lets you maintain control over the type of care you receive, but with support in managing the funding. 🤝
3️⃣ Option 3 – Local Authority Managed Services
The local authority manages both the budget and the support. You still have a say in the care you receive, but the local authority takes care of the logistics and management. 📋
4️⃣ Option 4 – A Combination of the Above
Sometimes, a mix of options works best. You may choose to manage part of your care yourself, while leaving other elements to be handled by the local authority or care providers. SDS is all about flexibility! 🔄

💬 Why is SDS important in Scotland?SDS empowers individuals to personalise their care in a way that fits their lifestyle, preferences, and needs. It also means greater independence, dignity, and choice – giving people the ability to live on their terms. 🙌

💡 If you’re unsure about which SDS option is right for you, or need help navigating the system, don’t hesitate to get in touch. At Bluebird Care , we’re here to support you and help you make the best decisions for your care.
