👥 1 in 5 adults aged 50+ say they’ve experienced ageist attitudes when applying for jobs or in the workplace.

That’s why we’ve signed the Age-friendly Employer Pledge with the Centre for Ageing Better.

By doing so, we’re committing to take action every year to recruit, support and retain older workers — we believe age should never be a barrier to opportunity. 💜

September is World Alzheimer’s Month — a global campaign to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and support the millions of people around the world living with dementia, along with their families and carers.

Throughout the month, we’ll be highlighting the importance of understanding dementia, sharing practical ways to support loved ones, and celebrating the remarkable people we care for every day.

For us, dementia care is about more than daily support — it’s about creating connection, preserving dignity, and helping families feel less alone on the journey.

💜 Together, we can spread awareness and show support all month long.

As parents grow older, many families begin to worry: Will they stay safe? Will they remain independent? Who will be there when they need extra support?

At Home Instead Watford, we bring peace of mind by matching families with trained Care Professionals who provide tailored support — from companionship and outings, to personal care, to specialist dementia care. Flexible care plans mean your loved one gets the support they deserve, while you feel reassured.

At the Watford Family Fun Day, run by KEL Gospel Ministries Intl HQ, Jo, Lucy and Grace spoke with local families about these very concerns. One daughter told us how hard it is juggling work and caring for her mum — and learning how flexible care can fit around family life was a real “lightbulb moment.” Even the Peter Taylor - Mayor of Watford, stopped by to show support for the work we do in the community!

📞 If you share the same concerns, call us today on 01923 250513 to explore our tailored care packages and let us give you peace of mind.

Families often tell us the greatest gift respite care gives them is peace of mind — knowing they’re not alone in this journey.
