❄️ Beating Winter Loneliness with a Little Extra Care❄️

The winter months can feel long and isolating. Cold weather, darker evenings, and slippery pavements can make it harder for people, especially older adults, to get out and about.

Here are some gentle ways to help yourself or a loved one feel more connected this winter:

🟣Stay in touch regularly – A quick phone call, video chat, or letter can make a big difference.
🟣 Enjoy cosy activities indoors – Reading, puzzles, baking, or listening to favourite music can lift spirits.
🟣 Share meals or cups of tea – Eating together, even occasionally, helps strengthen bonds.
🟣Encourage gentle routines – Keeping a regular sleep pattern and daily walk (if safe) can support wellbeing.
🟣Accept a helping hand – Sometimes companionship visits, neighbourly check-ins, or community groups can ease feelings of being alone.

With Winter fast approaching, it's important to remember that loneliness isn’t just an emotional feeling and can affect overall health. Taking small steps to bring in warmth, company, and routine can make the winter months feel brighter.

Considering Home Care?

Choosing care for yourself or a loved one is never easy, but home care offers many advantages that help people live well, safely, and happily in familiar surroundings.

✔️Comfort of Home – Being in a familiar environment can provide reassurance and reduce stress.
✔️ Independence – Home care supports people to continue living life on their terms.
✔️ Tailored Support – Care is personalised to each person’s needs, preferences, and routines.
✔️ Companionship – A friendly face and regular visits make a real difference to wellbeing.
✔️ Peace of Mind – Families can feel confident knowing their loved ones are safe and cared for.

At River Exe Healthcare, we believe care should be compassionate, person-centred, and designed around what matters most to you.

🧠 Did you know? Alzheimer’s disease doesn’t just affect older people.

Around 1 in 14 people over 65 are living with Alzheimer’s.

This rises to 1 in 6 people over 80.

But it can also affect younger people, about 1 in 13 people with Alzheimer’s are under 65.
This is known as early- or young-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Together, we can build more understanding and offer better support for everyone affected💜
