Anna from our Falls Prevention Service is here with her top tips on avoiding falls, especially helpful at this time of year!

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults, but many can be prevented through simple steps like strength and balance exercises, home checks and keeping up to date with health checks.

There are some fantastic resources available from for keeping active and mobile.

Oh - by the way - looking for a good idea for a Christmas present for an older loved one? A nice water bottle will help them stay hydrated and prevent dizziness and low blood pressure. Merry Christmas to you too. 🎁

Christmas can be stressful and emotionally challenging, especially for people with dementia and their families. Here are some tips to help you prepare. 💙

🕰️ It can be helpful to try to maintain some normal routines over Christmas.

🛒 Vital services like pharmacies, shops and GPs have reduced opening hours over the Christmas period. Planning ahead ensures you have everything you might need.

🕯️ Think about how you can adapt traditions so the person with dementia can continue to participate.

🎁 The person with dementia could help with festive preparations, such as wrapping presents, sending cards or putting up decorations.

🍽️ Consider if there’s any food the person with dementia prefers, and the portion sizes they normally eat.

🎬 You could ask a friend or family member to sit with the person with dementia, listen to music or watch your favourite film.

For some people, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can feel more noticeable or harder to manage during the winter.

But small things can help:

🔵 try some physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🔵 make the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🔵 plan for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest

There’s also treatment available if you’re finding things really tough – such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.

Search ‘NHS SAD’ to find out more.

Golden Services Care

Golden Services was started in 2012 by Pat Morgan. Pat has worked in the care sector since leaving school; progressing from support worker all the way up to registered manager for a number of other domiciliary companies over the years. Eventually she took the plunge into starting up her own home care company that has since developed and grown to cover the Wantage, Grove and Didcot areas. Since it's conception Golden Services has worked hard to build a reputation for providing outstanding care.

With the hard work and dedication of our support workers we are able to support members of our local community to remain living safely in their own homes and to maintain the dignity and respect they deserve.

Our commitment to care is reflected in our Care Quality Commission reports in which we have achieved an Outstanding in care on three separate occasions. This is an amazing achievement and a direct testament to the diligence and compassion of our staff.

As a company we are constantly working to improve our standards and support our staff to reach their full potential. We have a gold accreditation from Investor in People which recognises our leadership, support of staff and plans for improvements.
