🌟 Recognising the Difference Our Team Makes 🌟

Over the past few weeks, our team has been reminded of the privilege it is to support people and their families during some of the most important moments in life.

We have sadly said goodbye to Mr K, a true gentleman, and we hold his loved ones in our thoughts. We’ve supported a couple as they moved into a supported living setting, and a lady as she began her new chapter in a care home. We are also continuing to stand alongside another gentleman who is currently too unwell to return home, making sure he and his family feel supported every step of the way.

These moments show that the work our carers do is not just about care visits—it’s about dignity, compassion, and being there when it matters most. 🧡💚

To our incredible team: thank you 💕 The difference you make is felt deeply by the people we support and their families, and we are proud of the kindness, dedication, and respect you show every single day ✨️

☀️ Heatwave Alert – Keeping Our Community Safe ☀️

With the hot weather here, it’s important we all take extra care – especially when supporting vulnerable people in our community. 🌡️💛

Our top tips for staying safe in the heat:
✅ Drink plenty of fluids – water is best
✅ Keep curtains or blinds closed in rooms facing the sun
✅ Avoid going out during the hottest part of the day (11am–3pm)
✅ Wear loose, light-coloured clothing
✅ Check in on elderly neighbours, friends, and family

Our Libra Support Heroes will be keeping a close eye on clients during visits to make sure they are safe, hydrated, and comfortable.

Let’s look out for each other – a quick call or visit could make all the difference. 🧡💚

🌟 Spotlight On Our Owner/Director and Registered Manager 🌟

Name: Nicola

How long have you worked at Libra? I started Libra in February 2021, during the covid pandemic. The idea for the name came from my twin daughters star signs ♎️

What made you want to work in care? I worked in HR for years and wanted a different challenge. A friend worked night shifts in a local care home and suggested I give it a go and I knew I'd found my calling after my 2nd shift. Tiring but fulfilling.

What’s your favourite part of the role? Knowing you're making a difference. It's such a privilege being able to help people ✨️

Can you share a moment that made you feel proud at work? Setting up a care service from scratch and to date creating 40 jobs, having an incredible team who go above and beyond, and providing care to almost 50 people 🎗

What do you enjoy doing outside of work? I love open water swimming, going to local gigs, travelling, or just sitting on my bum at home on the sofa watching crime dramas.

What advice would you give to someone thinking of becoming a carer? It's definitely not for everyone but if you genuinely care for others you will love it 🧡💚

We’re so proud to see her thrive and can’t wait to see all that she continues to achieve. Thank you, Jess, for bringing heart, joy, and excellence to everything you do. 🧡💚

What to say to someone with dementia in care.

It's not uncommon for a person with dementia to say they want to go home. This can be caused by time shifting or general confusion, which can be distressing for everyone.

It can be difficult to know what to say or how to handle this situation to help minimise the person’s distress as much as possible.

Here are five things to remember when someone with dementia in care is asking to go home:

1. Avoid arguing about whether they are already ‘home'. When a person with dementia asks to go home it often refers to the sense of ‘home’ rather than the place itself.

2. Reassure them of their safety. They could be living somewhere different from where they have lived before and need to know they are cared for.

3. Establish whether or not they are feeling unhappy or lonely. Sometimes a person with dementia may want to ‘go home’ because they feel anxious or unhappy so establishing their mood can help understand more.

4. Try diverting the conversation. Having a distraction like a book or photo, can help ease person’s feelings of anxiety by giving them a chance to reminisce.

5. Keep a log of when they are asking to go home. For example, is it later in the day and possibly due to sundowning? Is it near meal times or when the environment is noisier than usual?

Do you or someone you know use a telecare alarm? Landlines switching from analogue to digital could stop telecare alarms working, but landline providers can help. The switchover is already happening, so call the landline provider for support now. For more information, visit digitalphoneswitchover.com
