Honouring International Day of Older Persons 💚🌳

Every day, we see the power of meaningful connections—whether it’s sharing a conversation over tea, supporting someone with their daily routines, or simply being a trusted presence in their home.
Our mission is simple: to help people live with dignity, independence, and connection.

Here are a few reflections we would like to share:

✨ Social connection is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. As people age, life changes can make relationships harder to maintain. That’s why we prioritise companionship, not just “care tasks,” in our support.
✨ Older people are active contributors. They volunteer, mentor, care for family, share wisdom, and strengthen communities. Yet, their value is too often overlooked.
✨ We all have a role to play. Whether as neighbours, professionals, family, or friends, we can combat social isolation, challenge ageism, and make sure everyone feels they belong—regardless of age.

Today, let’s take a moment to recognise, celebrate, and honour older persons everywhere. 💚

VE Day 80th Anniversary – A Heartfelt Thank You

Yesterday, we were honored to host our VE Day themed afternoon tea at GoodOaks Homecare Reading & West Berkshire, marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day.

It was a moving and memorable afternoon spent reflecting on the bravery and sacrifice of those who served, while celebrating the peace they fought so hard for.

As our first community event since re-establishing our office with a brand-new management team, we were truly grateful to welcome our clients and carers into our space.
