✨ Reminiscing on Last Month’s GoodOaks Annual Conference ✨

We’re still buzzing from the fantastic GoodOaks Conference last month! It was a brilliant event filled with learning, networking, and sharing ideas to help us grow and strengthen our franchise. 💡🤝

We’re proud to say that GoodOaks Edgware & Finchley came away with some awards and recognition—and we’re truly grateful for it all! 🏆

One of the highlights was being able to personally pass on the Outstanding Impact Award to our amazing Care Coordinator, who continues to make a real difference in the lives of our clients 💙

Here’s to building on the momentum and continuing to grow together!

💧 Just in time for the heatwave! ☀️

We’ve received our free hydration sample packs from Jelly Drops — perfect for encouraging our lovely clients to stay cool and hydrated during these warmer days. 🧊🥤

Some of our clients are already enjoying the refreshing boost, while for others, especially those living with dementia, it’s taking a little more encouragement — but we’re getting there together, one sip at a time. 💙

Let’s all keep cool and care smart this summer!

🎁 A little thank you goes a long way!

Today, we gifted one of our lovely carers a small reward for introducing a new client to our service.
They didn’t want a photo or a big fuss (and we totally respect that!), but we still wanted to give them a quiet shout-out and say THANK YOU.

We appreciate every bit of support that helps our branch grow—it never goes unnoticed 💙

This month, let's lead with love. 💚
No matter how big or small the task, it's the care we pour into it that truly makes a difference.

Local care partners support our dementia day clubs!
Huge thanks to GoodOaks Homecare - Edgware and Finchley for generously lending us two of their wonderful carers to assist in our dementia day club activities each week. Our members are enjoying the extra attention!
A special shout out as well to Radfield Home Care Barnet & Finchley whose amazing yoga instructor Sue has been delivering fortnightly yoga sessions to our members for nearly three years
It's partnerships like these that show the power of local organisations coming together to support organisations like ours 💜

Many older people around us are silently struggling - and often, the signs are easy to miss.
From withdrawal to subtle changes in mood or routine, spotting the signs of loneliness early can make a real difference. At GoodOaks, our care professionals offer more than just support - they build genuine connections and provide thoughtful, reliable companionship.
Read our latest blog on the signs of loneliness to look out for - and how you can help:

Loneliness is often a silent struggle, especially for older adults. While it can have serious consequences for health and wellbeing, it's not always easy to spot – especially if you're not there every day.

💛 Loneliness Awareness Week | 9–15 June 2025 💛

Loneliness affects hundreds of thousands of older people in the UK – and it’s more than just a feeling. It can seriously impact physical and mental health. 💔
At GoodOaks, we believe meaningful connection is just as important as care. Our care professionals build real relationships, offering companionship that combats isolation and brings joy to everyday life.

While loneliness may seem like a minor emotional state, its impact on the health and wellbeing of elderly individuals is both serious and far-reaching.

It’s easy to delay care conversations through fear of upsetting a loved one, but what if we reframe the conversation to support and honour independence, not take it away?

Here we open up the topic to show homecare a proactive and loving choice, not a last resort.

When families are faced with the question of homecare for a loved one, the conversation often begins in a place of urgency, uncertainty, and sometimes guilt.

🌿 Quote of the Month – June 🌿
As we step into June and approach Loneliness Awareness Week, let this beautiful reminder from Leo Buscaglia encourage us all:

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear..."

Sometimes the smallest gestures have the biggest impact. You never know whose day — or life — you might brighten. 💚

Let’s stay kind, stay connected, and never underestimate the power of simply being there.
