It is with a truly heavy heart that we share this fundraising link on behalf of one of our team.

I am sure lots of you will know our lovely team member Summer. Summer first came to us 18 years ago and she is one of the most beautiful souls we have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Summer's younger brother Drew was cruelly taken from this world a few days ago. He was just 24 years old and the fundraiser below has been set up by friends of the family to try and help.

Please do share this post to help raise as much as possible to support them at this really difficult time.

Rest in Peace Drew. We didn't know you personally but we know you were loved more than words can describe.

Our love and thoughts go to Summer and her family.

We were very pleased to receive such a wonderful review at the weekend.

It was an honour to be able to support this gentleman at home for a few weeks. It is lovely to hear that his experience has been so positive with our team too...

Living Well with Frailty 💜

Frailty doesn’t mean losing your independence – and it certainly doesn’t mean giving up on the things that you love. While it can bring challenges, small and consistent changes can help slow progression, build strength and support overall wellbeing.

Here a few carer-recommended tips to make each day feel a little easier:

• Gentle exercise – look for simple, everyday opportunities to move more and keep active. Whether it is standing while the kettle boils to walking in the garden.
• Good nutrition – add bright vegetables and fresh fruit to boost nutrition and make meals more enjoyable.
• Emotional support – plan at least one social moment each day, whether its sharing a meal with family or having a chat with a neighbour.

At Prestige Nursing & Care, our carers work alongside clients and families every day to help manage frailty in a way that’s bespoke and effective. Find out more about mobility care here: https://www.prestige-nursing.co.uk/conditions-we-care-for/mobility-care/

Exciting news afoot….our amazing tech team have created our own rostering system 🙌

This is an exciting new part of our digital care journey and one we are super excited about because these guys are geniuses-they think of everything, and in time when we are all familiar it will save lots of time for us all!

Today is Race Against Dementia Day — a powerful reminder of why raising awareness and funding matters. Dementia affects millions of people and their families, and understanding the early signs can make a huge difference 💜

What are some common signs of dementia?

🧠 Memory challenges – Short-term memory is often affected first. People living with dementia may have problems retaining new information.
🗣️ Communication difficulties – people with dementia may repeat themselves frequently or lose track of conversations.
💬 Changes in decision making – dementia impacts how the brain processes information and can show as confusion about time and place and can affect decision making.

How is dementia diagnosed?

There is no single test for dementia, so doctors will review a person’s medical history and symptoms and run diagnostic tests to confirm a diagnosis. Some tests include…

- Blood tests
- Mental status exam
- Brain scans

There are many conditions that can mimic the early signs of dementia, so its important to have your health and medical history examined by your GP.
