Some of our key winter tips include:

• Staying active indoors to support strength and balance
• Eating regular, nourishing meals and drinking plenty of fluids
• Making sure medications and prescriptions are topped up

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 – a new year, and a gentle resolution

The new year often brings small resolutions – to learn something new, to feel more prepared, or to take better care of the people we love.

If thoughts about an older loved one have been quietly sitting with you, making 2026 the year you become care-wise doesn’t have to mean big decisions. It can start with understanding your options, having open conversations, and knowing where to turn for trusted advice.

Our free Warmth of Care resources are here to help you explore care at your own pace, whenever you’re ready.
