🎄✨ Thursday Throwback! ✨🎄

This time last year, Baptist Church had a very special visitor… Elfis! 🎅🕺 Our Home Instead helper dropped in as part of his big Be a Santa Tour, spreading smiles, snapping photos, and helping us kick off a season full of kindness and community spirit.

We’re delighted to share that the church is hosting a collection point again this year! ❤️

You can donate a gift:
🎁 At Erskine Baptist Church
🎁 At any of our local collection points - list in the comments

Can people with dementia still live a 'normal' life?

The answer is… yes. Here’s how.

This clip features a family carer, a Home Instead Registered Care
Manager, and a Clinical Psychologist discussing how to achieve a
fulfilling life after a diagnosis. The key takeaways for our local
community are:

● Relationship is Key: Skilful, patient care is essential,
especially when a loved one resists help.
● Encourage Joy: Ask them,"What do I enjoy, and how can I
do more ofthat?"
● Build a Network: Strong support and adapting the home
environment make all the difference to independence.

At Home Instead Renfrewshire & Barrhead, we provide, personalised care
that focuses on nurturing relationships and supporting the life
your loved one already enjoys in the comfort and familiarity of
home.
