🎄 The Week Before Christmas, and We’re in Full Swing 🎄

As we head into the final week before Christmas, our team has been busier than ever spreading festive cheer across our community.

✨ We’re hard at work creating our Santa for Seniors baskets, ensuring our clients feel remembered, valued, and celebrated this Christmas, and we can't thank Morrisons Leigh community page enough

🎁 We’ve been proud to donate toys to Daffodils Dreams in Wigan, helping bring joy to children and families this festive season.

🎮 This Christmas, we were also incredibly grateful to be able to gift a full gaming setup to a family in Wigan, including a Nintendo Switch 2 and a TV, bringing entertainment, connection, and a little magic into their home with thanks to Fable Play

📚 Our fantastic staff continue to work through the Care Certificate, reinforcing the high standards of care we’re committed to delivering, well done Jess!!!

❤️ And finally, we’re gifting our clients as a small thank you for trusting us and allowing us to be part of their lives.

None of this would be possible without our amazing team and the support of our wider community. This is what Christmas is all about.

✨ A lovely end to another busy week last week at Home Instead Leigh ✨

First up, we had a magical trip out with one of our clients to The Range to enjoy all the Christmas displays 🎄

Simple moments like choosing decorations, chatting about Christmases gone by and feeling part of the festive hustle and bustle mean so much – and we’re proud to make them happen.

We also want to say a huge congratulations to Holly Heaton on achieving her Care Certificate 🎓💙

Holly has worked so hard and is already making such a positive difference to our clients – we’re very proud to have her on the team.

We have also had really good feed back from Morrisons Leigh Community and can't thank the local community enough for the generous support through the festive period!

And finally… the office is officially Christmas-ready! Our little tree is up, the lights are twinkling and we’re looking forward to supporting our clients through the festive season with plenty of smiles, mince pies and companionship.

Thank you to our amazing team, clients and families for being part of the Home Instead Leigh family ❤️

No one should wake up on Christmas morning and feel forgotten

Across the UK millions of older people are facing Christmas alone Age UK research shows that over two point three million older people wish they had someone to spend time with at Christmas and around one million say they feel more isolated at this time of year than any other

For many seniors in our local community Christmas Day is the hardest day of the year The TV is on for company the phone does not ring and the only card on the mantelpiece might be from a charity rather than a friend or family member

Our Santa for a Senior campaign is a simple way to change that Together we create Christmas hampers filled with thoughtful donated gifts and we personally deliver them to elderly people who would otherwise have nothing to open and no one knocking at the door

Here is how you can help

Donate a gift for a local older person
Think warm cozy and practical items as well as small treats and festive goodies

You can drop off your gift at Morrisons in Leigh Sports Village This is our main collection point for the campaign

If you would like to go a step further you can also include a handwritten card or note A few kind words can mean the world to someone who has spent days or even weeks without a proper conversation

Your generosity will not just fill a hamper it will remind an older neighbor that they are seen valued and cared for this Christmas

If you can help please comment below message us for more details or share this post so we can reach even more Santa's for our seniors

Thank you for making sure that no one in our community is left feeling forgotten this Christmas

This week at Home Instead Leigh, we celebrated two wonderful members of our team — Samantha and Cassandra 🎉

💚 Samantha – 2 Years of Service

For the past two years, Samantha has shown incredible commitment and genuine care in everything she does. Her warmth, reliability and calm presence make such a difference to the clients she supports. She represents our values beautifully and brings a real sense of compassion to every visit.

💚 Cassandra – 1 Year of Service

In her first year with us, Cassandra has already made a huge impact. Her positivity, patience and dedication shine through in her work, and she continues to grow and inspire those around her. She brings energy and kindness wherever she goes.

Behind them in the photos is a quote we truly believe in:

“People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.”

Samantha and Cassandra live this message every single day, and we’re incredibly proud to have them as part of the Home Instead Leigh family 💚

👇 Join us in congratulating them both on these well-deserved achievements!

🌺 Remembrance Sunday 🌺

Today we take a moment to pause, reflect, and honour all those who have served our country — from the heroes of the First and Second World Wars to those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts since.

Their courage, resilience, and unwavering sense of duty have protected the freedoms we hold dear. Many left their homes, families, and loved ones behind, asking for nothing in return but the hope of a safer, more peaceful world.

At Home Instead Leigh, we are proud to stand with our community in remembering them, the fallen, the veterans, and those still serving today. Their legacy lives on in our gratitude, our freedom, and our continued commitment to care for others with compassion and respect.

As the nation falls silent today, we remember not only their sacrifice, but also their humanity, bravery, and love of country.
We will remember them. 🕯️

Is it too early for a Christmas post? 🎄😂

Ian’s wasted no time getting into the festive spirit, he’s already been out scouting Christmas trees and found his favourite one! You’ve got to admire the man’s commitment to Christmas cheer even if the rest of us are still trying to remember where we packed away last year’s decorations!

There’s just something about seeing the lights, the colours, and that bit of sparkle that makes everything feel a little brighter, isn’t there? ✨

We might still be weeks away, but Ian says it’s never too early to start celebrating and honestly, looking at that grin, we think he might be right.

Who else is secretly (or not-so-secretly) ready to bring out the tree and turn the tunes up to Mariah Carey levels? 🎅🎶

A steady hand. A patient heart.

These stunning cross-stitch portraits were created by one of the wonderful people we support, every stitch telling a story of time, care, and creativity.

Crafting can be such a powerful way to stay calm, focused, and connected to the things that make us us. Whether it’s cross stitch, painting, gardening, or baking, we love seeing the passions that continue to thrive at home.

💬 What hobby helps you switch off and unwind?

We’d love to hear and maybe even feature some of your creations in a future post!
