🎉 A Huge Congratulations to Athanasia 🎉

We are absolutely delighted to share some wonderful news about one of our exceptional team members.

After 18 months of dedicated study, alongside her demanding role as Lead Care Coordinator, Athanasia has today been awarded a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Health and Social Care by the Board of the Anglia Ruskin University.

This is no small achievement. Completing an MBA requires real discipline, intellectual rigour, and resilience. And to do so while continuing to support our clients, Care Professionals, and wider team speaks volumes about Athanasia’s commitment, professionalism, and drive to continually improve the quality of care we deliver.

Her studies strengthen not only her own leadership and strategic expertise, but also our organisation as a whole. The insight, critical thinking, and evidence-based approach she brings directly benefit the people we care for and the team she supports every day.

Athanasia, we are incredibly proud of you. Your hard work, determination, and passion for health and social care are an inspiration to us all.

Please join us in congratulating her on this outstanding achievement — well done, Athanasia! 👏🌟

Dad isn’t driving anymore, and that’s making everyday life more complicated for you. He’s missing his meet ups at the golf club; you’re missing the time to make it all work.

Don't worry, we’re helping keep things on track.

At Home Instead Richmond, our Care Professionals have their own cars and will get dad out and about, whether it’s a social gathering, a quick trip to the shops, or just some fresh air and conversation.

Not only that, but we'll also help with food shopping, preparing meals just the way he likes them, and share the moment if he’d rather not eat alone.

Contact us today to learn how Home Instead Richmond can support you on your journey to care.

Did you know that memories from decades ago can sometimes be easier to access than what happened this morning?

That is why reminiscence therapy can be so powerful. Long term memories are often stored differently in the brain and can remain intact even when short term memory becomes unreliable.

What many people do not realise is that reminiscing is not about testing memory at all. It is about reducing pressure. A photograph, a familiar song or a shared story can help someone feel calmer, more confident and more able to communicate, often leading to richer conversations and better emotional wellbeing in the present.

Very often, when supporting someone living with dementia, our Care Professionals in Richmond naturally use reminiscence as part of their visits, through conversation, music, photos or shared routines. It is one of the many small, thoughtful ways we help clients feel more at ease and connected in the moment.

Being a Care Professional is about building real connections, earning trust, and sharing moments that truly matter. It’s knowing that being there can brighten someone’s day and bring comfort at home.

Alongside meaningful work, you’ll receive industry leading training programmes, ongoing support from a local team, and varied working patterns that can fit around your life. You’ll be valued for who you are, supported as you grow in your role, and part of a team that truly cares about the difference you make.

If caring comes naturally to you, why not make it your work too. Find out more about becoming a Care Professional with Home Instead Richmond. Visit homeinstead.co.uk/richmond or call 0203 879 7877 💚

At Home Instead Richmond, our carers are known as 'Care Professionals', a title that reflects their advanced training, skills, and dedication. That’s only part of the story, however.

Our Care Pros don’t just support our clients, they help them keep living life on their terms.

From chats over a cup of tea, to noticing when something’s not quite right, they bring both professionalism and kindness to every visit.

February is National Heart Month, and at Home Instead, we understand that good heart health is essential for overall well-being and longevity.

In the spirit of this month, why not start by adopting one or two heart-healthy habits? Simple actions like going for a walk or adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet can make a significant difference.

We know that keeping up with healthy habits can feel hard, especially while managing day-to-day life. If you or someone you love could use a bit of extra support, our team at Home Instead Richmond is here to help. You can call us on 0203 879 7877 or visit homeinstead.co.uk/richmond to start a friendly conversation.

Eating alone now and then is not a problem. Many people enjoy the quiet. What families often do not realise is that when someone regularly eats every meal on their own, it can slowly affect appetite, routine and mood. Food becomes something to get through rather than something to enjoy.

Having company, even once or twice a week, can change that experience. A shared meal, a bit of conversation or simply someone sitting nearby can help bring structure back to the day and make mealtimes feel more human again. It is a small thing that often makes a bigger difference than families expect.

If this feels familiar and you would like a friendly conversation about companionship visits, our team in Richmond is happy to chat on 0203 879 7877 or via homeinstead.co.uk/richmond.

One of our amazing Care Pros here at Home Instead Richmond was on a client visit, and mentioned the delicious cinnamon buns his wife makes...

Well, Friday last week he surprised his lovely clients by dropping in with some some freshly baked buns, who enjoyed them very much with a cappuccino!

Just one of the ways our outstanding team at Richmond go that extra mile for their clients!

Getting to know our clients well, we learn what their most cherished memories are. Weddings, births, sunny days outdoors… we understand their importance.

Have you seen John in our new sponsorship idents for Love Your Weekend? He loves a trip down memory lane, and thanks to his Care Professional Ben, he gets to relive the moments that mean the most to him.

For many older adults, this time of year can bring on a real sense of sadness or fatigue. If you’re noticing that in yourself or someone you love, it could be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), or a vitamin deficiency.

☀️ Here are some ideas for pick-me-ups:
• Sunshine: Get outdoors when it’s bright, even for a short stroll
• Nourishment: Warm, balanced meals to keep energy steady
• Movement: Gentle stretches or walks help shift the fog

If you’re in Richmond and worried about a loved one this season, our outstanding team is here to help.
