This time of year can make everyday routines feel that bit harder, especially in colder weather and darker days. Sometimes a small amount of support is all it takes to keep routines going, from getting to the shops and appointments to enjoying a walk or a coffee out.

With regular companionship visits, our Care Professionals can support you or a loved one to stay connected in your community and maintain your routines and independence.

If you would like to find out more about companionship support in Exeter and East Devon our team is happy to have a chat on 01395 200600 or visit our website homeinstead.co.uk/exeter-east-devon.

Winter travel tips to help you stay safe:

🚗 Give yourself extra time
Rushing in icy or wet conditions increases the risk of slips and bumps, especially on short journeys.

🧊 Clear frost properly
Make sure all windows, mirrors and lights are fully clear before setting off, not just a small patch.

👟 Watch your footing
Wear shoes with good grip and take care on icy pavements, driveways and car parks.

🧤 Be prepared for the cold
Keep a warm coat, gloves and a charged phone with you, even for quick trips.

📍 Plan local journeys carefully
Stick to familiar routes where possible and avoid poorly lit or untreated paths in bad weather.
