Looking back, many people say there is one thing they wish they had known earlier when caring for a loved one.

That it is okay to ask for help sooner.

That small changes matter.

That you do not have to do everything yourself to be doing the right thing.

If you feel comfortable, what is one thing you wish you had known earlier? Let us know in the comments!

People who come from retail, hospitality or admin often excel in care, not because the work is similar, but because the values are.

They know how to listen, notice the small things and take pride in doing a job properly.

Our longer, un-rushed visits with clients mean there is time to slow down, build relationships and give the kind of support that feels thoughtful rather than rushed, something many people have been missing in previous roles.

If this sounds like the kind of work you would enjoy, speak with our team in Tavistock and Tamar Valley on 01822 258292 or apply online at https://go.homeinstead.co.uk/3xJqzDl

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.

Many parents find it hard to accept help from their children, even when they clearly need support.
Being helped by family can feel like a loss of independence or a reminder that roles have shifted, especially for someone who has always been the one looking after others. When help comes from someone outside the family, it often feels easier, more neutral and less emotionally loaded.

For many families, this is actually a relief. Support from someone else can ease tension, protect relationships and help a parent keep their confidence, while children can return to being sons or daughters rather than carers.

To explore support that helps protect independence and family relationships, speak with our Tavistock and Tamar Valley team on 01822 258292 or visit homeinstead.co.uk/tavistock-tamar-valley.

When families start to worry about eating habits, it is often not about appetite but about repetition.

The same meals, the same snacks, the same easy options day after day. This is not always a preference. It can be a sign that planning, shopping or cooking has started to feel overwhelming.

Having a bit of support can help bring variety back in a gentle way. Planning meals together, shopping locally and cooking simple food alongside someone can support both nutrition and confidence, while helping families feel reassured that their loved one is eating well.

If this feels familiar and you would like to learn more about how care at home can help a loved one, contact our team in Tavistock and Tamar Valley on 01822 258292 or visit homeinstead.co.uk/tavistock-tamar-valley.

Families often think the turning point will be a crisis or a big change, but more often it is something else.

It's the moment when a regular companionship visit starts to make everyday life feel easier again. Someone popping in for a chat, a walk, a bit of help with shopping or a shared cup of tea can lift mood, rebuild confidence and gently support routines.

For families we support, that consistency brings reassurance. You know your loved one is not spending long days alone and you can see the difference it makes to their wellbeing.

Companionship visits are often where support really begins to feel right.

If you are wondering whether companionship visits could make a difference, our team in Tavistock and Tamar Valley is happy to chat on 01822 258292 or via homeinstead.co.uk/tavistock-tamar-valley.

When families first get in touch, they often tell us the hardest part is how to start the conversation about care with a parent.

Not because their mum or dad needs lots of help, but because the word care does not feel like it fits.

Many people have spent their lives working, running households, supporting others and making decisions. Being offered care can feel like a step backwards.

What we often find works better is reframing the idea completely. Instead of “you need help”, it becomes “would it be nice if someone came round for an hour a week to help you sort the photos, get the garden back on track or tackle those boxes in the spare room”.

Very often, just one hour a week can be enough to keep routines going, build confidence and give families reassurance.

Support does not have to mean losing independence. Sometimes it simply means having someone alongside you to get things done.

If you are curious about how even a small amount of support could make a difference, our team in Tavistock and Tamar Valley is happy to talk on 01822 258292 or via homeinstead.co.uk/tavistock-tamar-valley.

This Cervical Cancer Prevention Week is a chance to pause, share awareness, and talk about how cervical screening helps protect long term health.

Almost all cervical cancer cases are caused by HPV, a very common virus that most people come into contact with at some point. Screening now checks for HPV first, helping to spot risk early and prevent cervical cancer before it develops. For most people, results are reassuring, and for a small number, early follow ups help keep them safe and well.

If you are invited for a smear test, attending is one of the simplest ways to look after your health. For information and support, visit https://ukcervicalcancer.org.uk/.

Taking care of yourself helps you stay well for the people who matter most 💚
