💚 A wonderful day out with Norma!

Our lovely client Norma and her Care Professional, Sophie, recently enjoyed a trip to the Ingleton Caves. 🏞️ They took in the stunning scenery, shared plenty of smiles, and made memories along the way.

Spending time outdoors isn’t just enjoyable – it can have amazing benefits too. 🌿 Fresh air and beautiful views can lift our mood, reduce stress, and even support physical wellbeing. That’s why days like this are so special. ✨

At Home Instead South Lakes, we know that life is about more than just care – it’s about companionship, adventures, and enjoying every moment together. 💚

💚Professional Care Workers Week – 12th to 19th September 💚

This week is all about recognising the vital contributions of care workers across the UK, supported by the The Care Workers' Charity . The term “Professional” is central to PCWW because it highlights just how skilled and essential care work really is.

Despite their critical roles, care workers often face challenges like low pay, inconsistent training, and high turnover. Here at Home Instead South Lakes, we do things differently. We offer:
💷 Competitive pay – up to £16.25/hr
🚗 Paid travel time & mileage
📈 Career pathways – funded Level 2 & 3 qualifications, office roles, and specialty training.

We also recognise the skills and value of our team. A few years ago, we changed the job title from “CAREGiver” to Care Professional – because that’s exactly what they are.

To all Care Professionals making a difference every day: thank you. You are skilled, essential, and truly appreciated. ❤️

💚 Supporting Our Team, Supporting Our Clients 💚

Our Dementia Champion, Shaun, has been hard at work delivering our new dementia training to ensure our Care Professionals have the latest knowledge, skills, and strategies to provide compassionate, person-centred care. 🧠✨

Did you know?

Dementia is not a normal part of ageing – it’s a condition that affects the brain and can impact memory, thinking, and daily life.

Early diagnosis can make a real difference, helping people access support, plan for the future, and maintain quality of life.

We’re also excited to continue spreading awareness with our Dementia Awareness Day on 17th September at Beetham Nurseries. 🌿 Come along to learn more, meet our team, and support those living with dementia in our community.

At Home Instead South Lakes, we are committed to continuous learning so we can better support those living with dementia and their families across our community. 💚

🎥 We’re Back with Sophie! 🎥

Our owner, Sophie, has been answering some of your questions and sharing her insights on the importance of spotting the signs early. 💚

Small changes in our loved ones’ daily routines can sometimes be the first indication that they may need extra support. This could be missed medication, changes in appetite, or difficulty managing day-to-day tasks. By noticing these signs early, you can take steps to help your family members maintain their independence and wellbeing.

That’s why we’ve created our “Spot the Signs” checklist — a simple, practical tool to help you focus on key areas as your loved ones get older. It’s designed to guide you in noticing small changes before they turn into bigger concerns, giving you peace of mind and the opportunity to offer support at the right time.

📄 If you'd like a free copy please call us today on 01539 267220 and take the first step towards peace of mind for your family.

Or you can download the checklist for free from careconversations.co.uk

💡 Whether you’re caring for a parent, grandparent, or older relative, understanding these early warning signs can make a real difference in their quality of life.

🌟 Community Spotlight! 🌟

Our Engagement Coordinator Andrea has been out sampling one of the fantastic groups from our WOW (What’s On Where) guide! This week, she joined Sheila and Shaun for the Monday session of the Ronnie Gardiner Method with the Mixed Condition Group. 🎶👐

The Ronnie Gardiner Method is a powerful multi-sensory exercise for the brain. It combines rhythm, movement, and speech to help improve concentration, coordination, balance, memory, and much more.

The group meets every Monday from 2pm–4pm at the Beck Community Centre in Kendal — a brilliant way to stay active, social, and have fun!

If you’d like to get one of our WOW guides, please call us on 01539 267220. We’d love to help you find the perfect local activity!

📢 Government Emergency Alert Test – Sunday 7th September at 3pm 📢

Today 7th September at 3pm, the Government will be testing the Emergency Alert system.
👉 Your phone will make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate for about 10 seconds, even if it’s on silent.
👉 It’s only a test – no action is needed.

💡 Advice for the Public:

Let friends, family, and neighbours know so they’re not alarmed.

Reassure anyone who may be unsettled by sudden loud noises.

If you’d prefer not to receive the test, you can switch alerts off in your phone’s settings.

💡 Advice for Care Professionals:

If you’re with a client at 3pm, let them know in advance.

Reassure them it’s just a test and nothing to worry about.

You could even make it fun – e.g., a little game of “who hears it first?”

✅ Remember – the system is designed to help keep people safe in real emergencies.
