As the saying goes, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Seeing local services come together to support the community reminded us how true this is.

We were delighted to take part in the recent Slipper Swap event, hosted by the wonderful Rainbow Services Harlow as part of their Ageing Well series. 🥿✨

But it was more than just a slipper swap, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with local residents and learn about the range of services available to support older people in the Harlow community.

Alongside a few home care providers like us, the event welcomed Alzheimer’s Society, Find Your Active, Support 4 Sight, and many more really great services.

A huge thank you to Rainbow Services (Harlow) for hosting such a warm and informative event. We enjoyed engaging conversations, hearing personal stories, and seeing the positive impact of all the amazing work happening in the local area.

🍊🥕🥬 Immune-Friendly Foods for Late Autumn

As the evenings draw in and the temperatures dip, many of us start thinking about keeping well through the colder months. One simple way older adults and their families can support wellbeing is by enjoying seasonal foods that are rich in natural goodness.

Here are some ideas to add colour and comfort to meals this November:

Citrus fruits (like oranges, satsumas, and grapefruits) bring a fresh source of vitamin C, which helps the body stay resilient.

Root vegetables (such as carrots, parsnips, and swede) are perfect for hearty soups and roasts, offering warmth and energy.

Dark leafy greens (like kale, spinach, and cabbage) are packed with nutrients and taste wonderful in stews or gently steamed as a side.

Cooking with the seasons not only makes meals tastier, but it also brings a sense of rhythm and comfort at this time of year. Sharing these dishes with loved ones, whether it’s a Sunday roast or a simple soup, can turn an everyday meal into a moment of connection.

🍲 What’s your favourite meal to share in the colder months?

🌍 World Diabetes Day

Caring Through Awareness

Diabetes affects millions of older people across the UK, often in ways that aren't always visible. Today is a reminder of the importance of understanding the condition, recognising the signs, and creating space for open conversations, whether it’s with a friend, a neighbour, or someone you care for.

Taking the time to listen, support healthier choices, and share knowledge can make everyday life that little bit easier.

Let’s use this day to check in with those around us, not just today, but throughout the year.

💛 It’s World Kindness Day! 💛

Imagine the difference if everyone did one small, thoughtful thing today. Smile at the person behind you in the queue, compliment a colleague, check in on a neighbour, or simply say thank you and mean it.

Kindness isn’t just a nice idea, it’s the thread that keeps communities connected. Let’s start a wave of kindness together.

What’s your one act of kindness going to be today? 🌍✨

Home Instead were recommended to us over a year ago and we have been using their services ever since. Initially, Mum was not interested in receiving regular visits from people she viewed as 'strangers', however we were keen for her to receive regular visits to fill in the days of the week when my sisters and I were unable to visit. Circumstances prevailed which enabled us to introduce 2 visits a week by Home Instead and we recently increased this to 3 visits. Mum's attitude has totally changed over this period and she really enjoys their companionship. Home Instead have reduced the pressure on us too.
The service Home Instead provide is excellent as are the staff who visit, communication is brilliant either via the app or dropping into their office for a quick chat. I would highly recommend their services.

Preparing for Slippery Surfaces 🧣🍂

Cold, wet weather can make outdoor paths risky for older adults. A few small steps can help everyone stay safe:

✅ Wear sturdy shoes with good grip, avoid smooth soles
✅ Use handrails whenever they’re available
✅ Clear paths of leaves, moss and debris regularly
✅ Keep entrances well-lit so hazards are easier to see
✅ Walk slowly and take smaller steps when it’s wet or icy

Why not save this as a quick checklist to share with family or neighbours? It’s a simple way to help prevent falls this season.
