🛡️ Keeping Our Loved Ones Safe: Understanding the Herbert Protocol

At Apex Healthcare Services, the safety and wellbeing of the people we support is always our top priority.
We know how important it is for families to feel confident that their loved ones are protected, especially when living with conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, or memory loss. That’s why we want to share helpful information about the Herbert Protocol — a national safeguarding initiative that ensures vulnerable individuals can be found quickly and safely if they ever go missing.

What Is the Herbert Protocol?

The Herbert Protocol is a simple but powerful tool designed to support individuals who may become confused or disoriented. It involves completing a form with essential details about your loved one, including:

Personal information and a recent photograph

Medication and health needs

Daily routines and favourite places

Contact details for family, carers, or friends

Significant past addresses (such as former homes or workplaces)

The form is kept securely at home and is only shared with the police if the person goes missing. This allows them to begin the search immediately with accurate information at hand.

Why It’s So Important

✔️ Speeds up missing person searches
✔️ Provides vital details instantly
✔️ Reduces stress and panic for families and carers
✔️ Improves the chances of a safe and fast return

Who Can Use It?

The Herbert Protocol can be used by:

Individuals living with dementia or memory-related conditions

Families and informal carers

Care homes and professional care providers

How to Access the Form

You can download the Herbert Protocol form from your local police website.
Once completed, keep it somewhere safe and known to everyone involved in the person’s care.

At Apex Healthcare Services, we proudly support families in keeping their loved ones safe, comfortable, and well cared for. If you or someone you know would benefit from compassionate, reliable home care — or if you’d like help completing the Herbert Protocol — we’re here for you every step of the way. 💙

🌟 Monday Motivation: The Heart of Care 🌟

A new week begins, and with it comes a reminder: care isn’t just a job — it’s a commitment to making life a little easier, a little safer, and a little brighter for someone else. 💙

Whether you're a carer, a family member, a neighbour, or someone simply offering a helping hand… your effort matters. The world moves smoother because of people like you — the ones who show up, step in, and support others with patience and determination.

This Monday, let’s celebrate the quiet strength behind every caring action.
Because care isn’t loud — but its impact is powerful.

Here’s to a new week of purpose, compassion, and doing what truly matters. 🙌

Ever heard of the word sonder?

It’s one of those poetic words that makes you stop for a moment.

👉 Sonder — the realisation that every person you pass is living a life as vivid, full and complex as your own.

Now pause…
That client who asks for help with their buttons every morning? They once led a team, raised five kids, and beat you at darts in 1978 (they probably didn’t tell you that bit). 🎯
That carer arriving with wet socks and a smile? She’s juggling a hundred things — school runs, coursework, and still remembering who likes one sugar, not two. ☕

That family member who checks in at odd hours? They're managing worry, work, and love — all bundled together in quiet moments.

Care isn't just ticking boxes. It’s a daily dance of sonder — remembering that everyone we meet is living a full, messy, beautiful story.

And maybe, just maybe, if we all remembered that a little more often, the world (and the care sector!) would be a softer, kinder place. 💜

So here’s to the unseen stories, the quiet heroes, and the everyday moments that make this work so much more than “just a job.”

It’s freezing out there… and we still showing up.

While most of us are reaching for hot water bottles and debating whether it’s too cold to leave the house… our incredible team are already out and about — coats zipped, hands frozen, but hearts wide open. 💜

They’re out there navigating icy roads, foggy mornings, and that “why is it dark at 4pm?” kind of chill — all to make sure our community are safe, supported, and seen.

🛎️ Whether it’s a morning medication visit, a lunchtime tea and chat, or tucking someone in with dignity at night, they do it with warmth — even when the weather doesn’t offer any.

To all the carers braving this cold to care for others — we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you.
And to our community — if you know a carer, give them a shout-out. They’re real-life heroes in thermals. 🧤🦸

💙 Self-Care Week: Looking After Ourselves

This week is Self-Care Week, a reminder for all of us to take small steps each day to promote physical and mental wellbeing. Whether you’re a carer, a client, or supporting a loved one, self-care is essential — not optional.

Self-care doesn’t have to be big or time-consuming. It can be as simple as:
✨ Taking five quiet minutes with a warm drink
✨ Getting some fresh air or light movement
✨ Checking in with someone you trust
✨ Staying hydrated and eating regularly
✨ Asking for help when you need it

For our carers: you give so much every day — remember that looking after yourself helps you continue the amazing work you do.

For our clients: your wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do, and small routines can help you feel more comfortable and supported at home.

Let’s use Self-Care Week to slow down, recharge, and show ourselves a little kindness. 💛

⚡ Monday Motivation: Believe in Your Impact ⚡

A new week is here — a blank page waiting for your effort, your energy, and your heart. 💙

In care, every day brings something different. Some days test your patience, others fill your heart — but every single one matters. The way you show up makes a real difference, even when you don’t see it straight away.

So this Monday, take a deep breath, lift your chin, and remind yourself:
You’re capable. You’re resilient. You’re making an impact. 🌟

Let’s make this week one to be proud of — one filled with purpose, positivity, and progress.

🌷 Supporting Independence, Every Step of the Way 💪💙

At Apex Healthcare Services, we believe that growing older doesn’t mean giving up independence — it simply means finding new ways to live life your way. 🌼

Every person deserves to feel capable, confident, and in control of their daily routine. Whether it’s choosing what to wear, preparing a favourite meal, or enjoying a morning walk, those small moments of independence bring joy and dignity to everyday life.

Our role as carers is to support — not take over. We’re here to lend a helping hand only when it’s needed, encouraging our clients to stay active, make choices, and remain as independent as possible in the comfort of their own homes.

Because true care isn’t just about doing things for someone — it’s about empowering them to keep doing the things they love. 💖

🌿 Safety Comes First — Always 💙

At Apex Healthcare Services, we know how deeply families care for their loved ones — every small action comes from love and the desire to keep them safe and comfortable. ❤️

However, sometimes in moments of worry or urgency, it can be tempting to “find our own solutions” at home. Whether it’s a new way of positioning a loved one in bed, trying to prevent falls, or changing how medication is given — these decisions, though well-intentioned, can sometimes increase risk or make things harder for carers who are there to help.

Our carers are trained to follow safety guidelines to protect both clients and themselves. If anything feels unsafe or uncertain, it’s always best to pause and reach out — to us, to the GP, or to another healthcare professional. Together, we can find the safest and most effective way forward. 🌼

Keeping our loved ones safe is always a team effort — one built on trust, care, and good communication. Let’s continue working hand in hand to make every home a safe and comforting place. 💫
