Eating well plays a big part in living well with dementia 💚

Appetite, tastes and habits can change, but small adjustments can make mealtimes easier and more enjoyable. Try:

- Keeping healthy finger foods like fruit within reach
- Using plain, coloured plates so food stands out clearly
- Serving meals in a calm, quiet space without distractions
- Encouraging a balanced diet with fruit, vegetables, protein and carbohydrates
- Making sure drinks are offered often to prevent dehydration

Good nutrition supports both body and mind. With a little extra thought, mealtimes can remain a positive and comforting part of the day.

Behind every person living with Alzheimer’s is a family member or carer giving so much of themselves. 💚

Caring can be one of the greatest acts of love, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. That is why support for families is so important:

✔️ Accept offers of help. You do not have to do everything alone
✔️ Take regular breaks and consider respite care when you need time to recharge
✔️ Join support groups to share experiences and feel understood
✔️ Look after your own wellbeing just as much as your loved one’s

With the right care and encouragement, families can continue to enjoy meaningful time together, focusing on moments that matter rather than carrying the load alone.

Our Care Professionals are here to help, offering companionship, practical support and specialist dementia care so that you and your loved one feel supported every step of the way. 💚

🌟 Spot the Signs - We’re Here to Help! 🌟

A huge thank you to the team at Paydens Pharmacy in Cheriton for welcoming us today for our very first Care Advice Stand 💚

We had some lovely chats, offering free advice, and having caring conversations with local people who may be noticing signs that a loved one is starting to need a little more help at home.

These sessions are part of our commitment to making advice more accessible for local families who may be unsure where to start. Sometimes, all it takes is a conversation 💬

We’ll be back soon, so keep an eye out for our next visit 👀

In the meantime, if you’d like to speak to our team, give us a call on 01303 847899 or visit www.homeinstead.co.uk/folkestone

It’s National Eye Health Week 👀

Many people think eyesight simply fades with age, but that’s not the full story. Regular check-ups can detect common conditions like glaucoma before they cause lasting damage, giving the best chance to protect vision for longer.

Good eyesight means more independence, safety and enjoyment of everyday life, from reading and hobbies to moving around confidently at home.

A gentle reminder this week: booking an eye test is one of the simplest ways to look after yourself or a loved one. 💚
