🧡🎃 PLEASE SHARE 🎃🧡

As we all enjoy the spooky fun tonight, please remember to only knock on doors where a pumpkin or Halloween decoration is displayed 🎃 this shows that the household is happy to take part in trick-or-treating.

Some of our neighbours may be older or living with dementia, and unexpected visitors or costumes can sometimes be confusing or distressing. 💚

If you’re supporting a loved one living with dementia this Halloween, here are a few helpful tips:
🕯️ Keep lights on and curtains closed to reduce confusion.
🔔 If doorbells may cause anxiety, consider leaving a friendly sign asking trick-or-treaters not to knock.
👻 Offer reassurance if your loved one is startled, explain it’s just Halloween fun.
📺 Play calming music or a favourite TV show to help distract from outside noise.
💬 Let neighbours know if the evening might be unsettling, so they can help keep things peaceful nearby.

Let’s make Halloween enjoyable and comfortable for everyone in our community, a little mindfulness goes a long way. 💚

🎄✨ Festive Adventures with Rhoda! ✨🎄

Our lovely client Rhoda has been out on another wonderful adventure - this time to the garden centre for a browse of the beautiful Christmas decorations and displays, followed by a spot of lunch. 💚

Getting out for some fresh air and spending quality time together is such an important part of supporting wellbeing - it lifts the mood, boosts confidence, and creates those special moments we all treasure. 🌤️💖

It’s lovely to see Rhoda enjoying the festive spirit already - moments like these truly make the season special. 🌟

Proud to share this! 💚

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Home Instead has been named a Financial Times Diversity Leader for 2026! 🎉

This recognition highlights the truly inclusive culture across our entire network:

💚312th out of 800 European companies (a jump of 97 places!).
💚7th in the Healthcare (Social) sector.

Coming right after being named a Financial Times Best Employer ( #3 out of 500 major UK businesses), this ranking is special because it's largely driven by employee feedback.

As CEO Martin Jones MBE commented, "Inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do, and it’s rewarding to know our employees value and experience this in their day-to-day work.”

Thank you to our amazing, diverse team for making Home Instead a place where everyone is celebrated. 💚👏

⏰💚 Don’t forget - the clocks go back! 💚⏰

This weekend marks the end of daylight saving time, so remember to turn your clocks back one hour and enjoy a little extra sleep! 😴✨

At Home Instead, we know that small changes like this can impact routines, especially for older adults. It’s a great time to:
- Check smoke alarms and batteries 🔥
- Adjust medication schedules if needed 💊
- Take a moment to reconnect with loved ones 💛

A little reminder like this helps everyone stay safe, happy, and on time! 🕰️💚

🎀 Sweet moments for a great cause! 🎀

Today at our Preston office, we held a bake sale to raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness. We were joined by some of our lovely clients, all donning pink in support 💖.

It was wonderful to chat, enjoy some delicious cake, and feel the love and warmth that fills our office every day. This is what we’re all about at Home Instead – supporting one another, celebrating together, and making a difference in our community.

A huge thank you to everyone who baked, bought, or just shared a smile with us today! 🍰💗
