Meet Our New Birmingham Manager!

We are delighted to introduce Chiselle as our new Birmingham Manager at New Age Care. With 27 years of experience in the care sector, she brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and strong leadership to the team. Her journey into care was inspired by her Ouma, who raised four children with incredible strength, resilience, and unconditional love. Watching her dedication and selflessness from a young age shaped Chiselle’s values and naturally guided her towards a career built on compassion, responsibility, and putting others first.

Chiselle is passionate about seeing both clients and staff thrive. She believes that when a team feels supported, confident, and valued, this is reflected in the quality of care delivered. Empowering clients to remain as independent as possible within their own homes is especially important to her, as she understands how much confidence and wellbeing can grow when individuals feel in control of their own lives.

Her approach to leadership is grounded in leading by example, encouraging open communication, and creating a culture of trust and respect. She believes a positive and caring environment begins with teamwork and ensuring that everyone feels heard and appreciated.

Originally from South Africa, Chiselle has a deep love for the sea and finds peace and renewal by the coast whenever she can. Family, resilience, and continuous growth are values that guide her both personally and professionally. She is excited to be part of the Birmingham community and to work alongside New Age Care in delivering a true care with a difference approach, ensuring every client’s individual preferences and needs are always at the heart of what we do.

Welcome Chiselle to the New Age Care family!

“My grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease. Will I get it too?”

This is a question many people ask, often quietly and with understandable concern.
Research shows that while genetics can play a role in Alzheimer’s disease, having a family member with the condition does not mean you will automatically develop it. For most people, Alzheimer’s is influenced by a combination of factors, including age, overall health, lifestyle, cardiovascular wellbeing, and environmental influences. In fact, the majority of cases are not directly inherited.

What does make a difference is awareness, early understanding of risk factors, and access to the right support. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, staying mentally and socially active, and seeking professional advice when concerns arise can all contribute to better long-term brain health.

At New Age Care, we support individuals and families at every stage, from early questions and memory concerns to specialist dementia care. Our approach is guided by evidence-based practice, compassion, and a deep understanding of how life-changing these worries can be.

If you or a loved one have concerns about memory, cognition, or future care, you don’t have to face them alone. Trusted information and early support can make all the difference.

There’s a quiet hour that most people never think about. For many older people, it’s between 4pm and 7pm. The day is ending, but the evening hasn’t really begun. The house feels quieter. The television is on, but no one is really watching. The light outside starts to fade.

For some people living with dementia, organisations like Alzheimer's Society describe something called sundowning, where late afternoon can bring more confusion or restlessness. But even without dementia, this part of the day can feel long. Adult children are still at work. Grandchildren are busy. Neighbours are indoors. And the silence can feel heavier than usual.

Instead of asking your mum or dad, “Are you okay?”, try asking what part of the day feels longest for them. You might be surprised by the answer.
Sometimes, one visit at the right time changes everything. A cup of tea made together, a proper conversation, medication taken calmly, a short walk, a bit of laughter, someone simply being there. Not just care. Presence.

At New Age Care, we know how important these moments are. Our carers offer support, companionship, and reassurance, helping your loved ones feel truly seen and heard. Don’t let the quiet hours feel lonely, call us today and bring presence and comfort into their day.

Can You Reverse Age-Related Motivation Loss?

As we get older, it can feel harder to start tasks, pursue goals, or stick to routines. It’s tempting to blame age - but science shows motivation isn’t disappearing. Often, it’s blocked by habits, mindset, or changes in the brain.

The good news? Motivation can be restored and strengthened. Psychology and neuroscience research shows that your brain’s “drive circuits” remain adaptable well into later life. With the right approach, you can reignite curiosity, energy, and purpose at any age.

Here are practical strategies and science-backed tips to help:
1️⃣ Set Small, Purposeful Goals
Break big objectives into tiny, achievable steps. Research shows achieving small goals releases dopamine, fueling motivation for the next step. Start with one focused action per day - success compounds.
2️⃣ Move Your Body Daily
Exercise isn’t just for your heart - it boosts motivation too. Studies link regular physical activity with increased dopamine and endorphins, improving focus, energy, and drive. Even a 20-minute walk or light stretching helps.
3️⃣ Follow a Routine - but Stay Flexible
Consistency trains your brain’s reward pathways. A morning routine - like journaling, stretching, or reading—creates momentum. Science shows habit formation strengthens neural pathways, making motivated behavior easier over time.
4️⃣ Prioritize Social Connection
Social interaction stimulates the brain and emotional wellbeing. Evidence shows that engagement activates brain regions tied to motivation and goal-directed behavior. Join a club, call a friend, or participate in online groups.
5️⃣ Focus on a Positive Mindset
Negative self-talk drains motivation. Celebrate small wins, visualize progress, and adopt a reward-focused mindset. Neuroscience research shows this rewires motivation circuits and strengthens persistence.
6️⃣ Challenge Your Brain
Learning new skills or hobbies keeps motivation high. Studies show novelty and cognitive challenge stimulate the prefrontal cortex, critical for goal-setting and self-control. Try a language, instrument, or craft.

Motivation is a skill, not a fixed trait. By combining meaningful goals, daily habits, physical activity, social engagement, and brain challenges, you can restore focus, energy, and drive - at any age.

Your motivation is waiting - you just need the right sparks to light it up.

What a lovely day out for our wonderful clients.

Recently, our clients enjoyed a visit to The Hatton Arms, and it was such a special afternoon.

They watched the narrowboats glide along the Grand Union Canal and through the famous Hatton Locks, chatting about boats, canal life and how the 21 locks work. 🚤 It brought back memories for some and sparked lots of interesting conversations for others.
With beautiful countryside views and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it was the perfect place to relax and spend quality time together. Days like these are what it’s all about, fresh air, good company and shared smiles.

Our Experience Supporting Inclusive Travel

Our client D. is currently enjoying a two-week cruise with his carer, exploring new cities, feeling the sea breeze and making new memories.

We’d like to share how much the world has changed.

Not long ago, travelling with a wheelchair or walking stick could feel overwhelming: limited access, extensive planning and uncertainty at every step. Ramps were rare, accessible cabins were difficult to find, and many public spaces simply weren’t designed for everyone.

Today, we are seeing real progress.

Cruise ships with adapted cabins. Airports offering assistance. Ramps, lifts and accessible transport becoming more common rather than exceptional. There is growing recognition that inclusion is not a privilege, it is a right.

There is still more to be done.
But doors are opening.

At New Age Care, we believe true inclusion means more than accessibility, it also means companionship. A carer alongside the person. Supporting independence. Encouraging confidence. Making travel possible.

Because everyone deserves to explore the world with dignity and support.

We all want a good night’s sleep, but some common advice may be doing more harm than good. Dr. Lauren Waterman, a psychiatrist specializing in insomnia, recently challenged popular sleep myths on Medical News Today’s In Conversation podcast, and the truth may surprise you.

1️⃣ Melatonin isn’t the miracle you think it is
Many popular melatonin brands contain little or no active ingredient. Melatonin breaks down when exposed to light, so those clear bottles of gummies on your bedside table may be mostly placebo. Foil-wrapped capsules tend to work better but are harder to find.
💡 The takeaway: If melatonin seems to help, it’s often your brain believing it works. The placebo effect is powerful.

2️⃣ Wake-up time matters more than bedtime
We’re told to go to bed at the same time nightly, but for people with insomnia, forcing sleep can backfire. Lying awake trains your brain to link bed with frustration.
What really sets your body clock is when you wake up. From the moment you open your eyes, your brain builds sleep “fuel” (adenosine). Wake at 7 a.m., and you may be ready for bed by 11 p.m. Wake at 11 a.m.? Not enough fuel.
☕ Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors, masking sleepiness. That late-afternoon crash is built-up sleep fuel hitting at once.
💤 Even short naps — or sleeping in on Sunday — can disrupt your cycle.

3️⃣ Waking in the night is normal
Everyone wakes 10–15 times an hour — we just usually fall back asleep. People with insomnia notice, worry, and then struggle.
✅ The 15-minute rule: If awake for about 15 minutes, get up. Go to another room, read or relax, then return when genuinely sleepy. This retrains your brain to associate bed with rest.

4️⃣ Morning light is essential
Bright light lowers melatonin and signals the start of the day. In winter, many don’t get enough. Aim for 30 minutes of bright light (around 10,000 lux) soon after waking, try a morning walk or light therapy lamp.

💡 As Dr. Waterman says: “The most important thing for sleep is whether your brain believes it’s going to fall asleep.”

Don’t let myths ruin your nights.

At New Age Care, we know that care is never just about routines or tasks - it’s about people. Every person we support has a unique story, shaped by their culture, experiences, beliefs, and identity. Recognising and embracing these differences isn’t just important; it’s at the heart of what makes care truly compassionate.

But diversity in care isn’t only about those we care for - it’s about our carers too. Each member of our team brings their own experiences, perspectives, and strengths. Their individuality allows us to approach care in ways that are creative, empathetic, and deeply personal. A diverse team of carers means that, no matter the person we are supporting, there is someone who can understand, relate, and connect on a meaningful level.

Inclusive care is about listening deeply, understanding the values that shape someone’s life, and adapting our approach to honour those values. Whether it’s celebrating cultural traditions, supporting language preferences, or respecting personal choices, care that embraces diversity ensures that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

When carers and the people they support come together in an environment that celebrates difference, care becomes more than a service - it becomes connection, comfort, and trust. Everyone deserves to feel valued, respected, and embraced for who they are. And that is why diversity in care matters, every single day.

Depression in older adults can be difficult to spot. It doesn’t always look like sadness - and it’s often mistaken for “just getting older” or linked only to physical illness. Knowing the signs can help you take action early.

Common signs to watch for include:
🔹 Withdrawal and isolation
Avoiding social activities, phone calls, or visits they once enjoyed.
🔹 Loss of interest or motivation
No longer taking pleasure in hobbies, TV, meals, or everyday routines.
🔹 Changes in mood or behaviour
Irritability, anxiety, restlessness, or becoming unusually quiet.
🔹 Changes in sleep or appetite
Sleeping much more or less than usual, or noticeable weight loss or gain.
🔹 Low energy or fatigue
Constant tiredness, moving more slowly, or lack of motivation.
🔹 Confusion or memory problems
Depression can sometimes look like dementia, causing forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating.
🔹 Physical complaints with no clear cause
Headaches, aches and pains, or stomach issues that don’t improve with treatment.
🔹 Feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness
Talking about being a burden, feeling useless, or expressing a lack of purpose.

If these signs last more than a couple of weeks, it’s important to seek advice. Depression is not a normal part of ageing, and support can make a real difference.

Talking to a GP, nurse, or care professional is a positive first step. Emotional support, companionship, and the right care can help older adults feel understood and supported again.
If you’re concerned about someone you love - or about yourself - we’re here to listen.
