🌟 WOW Wednesday! 🌟

September is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and we want to make sure everyone knows about the fantastic support and activities available in our community. That’s why we’ve created our WOW Guide (What’s On Where) 🎉

Covering Preston, South Ribble, Ashton, Ingol & Fulwood, Ribbleton, and Penwortham, the guide includes social activity groups that boost brain health, wellbeing, and connection.

💜 This month’s featured community groups:

Preston Parkinson’s Group Meetings – held monthly on the second Wednesday of every month (Today), from 7:30–9:30pm at St Anthony’s Social Centre, PR2 3SQ. A welcoming space for people with Parkinson’s and their families.

Dementia Café by Alzheimer’s Society – held every third Thursday of the month, 10:30am–12:30pm at St Cuthbert’s Church, PR2 3AR. A relaxed, informal space to chat with people living with dementia, their carers, family, and friends. Ask questions, share experiences, and get helpful advice and support in a friendly environment.

Whether it’s coffee mornings, craft clubs, or exercise groups, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

👉 Message us or call us on 01772 724111 to get your copy of the guide – let’s make sure no one misses out on the fun!

📢 Government Emergency Alert Test – Sunday 7th September at 3pm 📢

Today 7th September at 3pm, the Government will be testing the Emergency Alert system.
👉 Your phone will make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate for about 10 seconds, even if it’s on silent.
👉 It’s only a test – no action is needed.

💡 Advice for the Public:

Let friends, family, and neighbours know so they’re not alarmed.

Reassure anyone who may be unsettled by sudden loud noises.

If you’d prefer not to receive the test, you can switch alerts off in your phone’s settings.

💡 Advice for Care Professionals:

If you’re with a client at 3pm, let them know in advance.

Reassure them it’s just a test and nothing to worry about.

You could even make it fun – e.g., a little game of “who hears it first?”

✅ Remember – the system is designed to help keep people safe in real emergencies.

🌊 Making a Splash for Dementia! 🌊

Our Group Business Development and Systems Manager, Amanda, is taking on an incredible personal challenge this September – swimming 10 miles in 30 days – to raise awareness during World Alzheimer’s Month. 💚

Amanda’s swim isn’t just about the miles – it’s about shining a spotlight on dementia, supporting those living with the condition, and raising awareness for the families and carers who support them every day.

Swimming 10 miles over a month may sound daunting, but Amanda is determined to make every stroke count. Her dedication is a wonderful reminder that even small actions can make a big difference in the lives of people affected by dementia.

👏 We’re incredibly proud of Amanda and can’t wait to cheer her on as she takes on this challenge. Join us in supporting her journey, spreading awareness, and helping make a positive impact during World Alzheimer’s Month!

🐾 Cutest Co-worker of the Day: Poppy! 🐾

During a recent visit, one of our amazing Care Professionals took Poppy, a client’s lovely dog, out for a walk. Of course, Patti just had to snap a photo! 📸

Having a pet at home can make such a difference to both mental and physical wellbeing. Pets provide companionship, routine, and comfort—and sometimes just the joy of a wagging tail or a cuddle is enough to brighten the whole day. 🐶💚

At Home Instead Preston, we understand that caring for our clients often means caring for the things that matter most to them too—whether that’s ensuring their pet gets a walk, sharing a chat over a cup of tea, or simply being there for a smile. 🌟

Moments like these remind us that care is about so much more than the practical—it’s about connection, compassion, and those little things that make life meaningful. ✨

🐴✨ We’re back with another adventure with Rhoda!
This time she visited Only Foals & Horses — and as an animal lover, she was absolutely in her element. 💕

Care isn’t only about medications or making sure our clients are eating well (though that’s important!) — it’s also about getting out, enjoying the fresh air, and doing the activities that bring joy. 🌿💛

Rhoda had a fantastic time meeting the horses, and we couldn’t resist sharing these lovely photos of her special day. 🥰

At Home Instead Preston, we love creating moments like this that bring happiness and meaning to everyday life. 🌟
