💚 Arts, Crafts & Companionship 💚

Did you know that arts and crafts don’t just spark creativity, they can also boost mental health, reduce stress, and ease anxiety? 🎨✨

This week, our lovely Care Professional Michael and our wonderful client Elspeth spent the afternoon together picking stones from the garden, then decorating them with gel markers and stickers. The results were fantastic and the laughter they had says it all! 💚

Thank you to Michael and Elspeth for sharing your artwork with us. What a brilliant example of how simple activities can bring joy, connection, and laughter. 🌟

💚 Stories & Experiences – Celebrating Our Care Professionals 💚

Recently, our Care Professionals in Glasgow North came together to talk about what it really means to be a Care Professional.

The session, led by our brilliant Care Professional Lead, Peter and it gave everyone the chance to share their stories, experiences and ideas. Together, they created a mind map that captured the heart of the role, from providing practical care to offering comfort, companionship and support.

It was fantastic to see both new and experienced Care Professionals connecting, breaking down barriers and learning from one another. 🌟

A huge thank you to Peter for running such an inspiring session, and to all of our Care Professionals who took part. We loved hearing your voices and celebrating the work you do every day. 🙌

🌍 World Alzheimer’s Month

September marks World Alzheimer’s Month, every 3 minutes, someone in the UK develops dementia.

At Home Instead Glasgow North, we’ll be sharing advice, tips and stories this month to help local families. 💚

The reality is tough: 37% of carers give up work, while 30% sell or downsize their homes to care for loved ones. No one should face that alone.

Got questions? Please reach out. Talking is the first step: 0345296 2897
