💙 Be kind to yourself

Caring for others is deeply rewarding, but it can also be emotionally and physically demanding. It’s important to take a moment to check in with yourself and prioritise your own wellbeing.

🌿 A few gentle self-care reminders for carers:
• Take short breaks when you can — even a few minutes can make a difference
• Talk to someone you trust about how you’re feeling
• Remember you don’t have to carry everything alone — support matters
• Focus on small positives throughout your day
• Rest when possible and treat yourself with kindness

Looking after yourself isn’t selfish — it helps you continue caring for others with strength, patience, and compassion.

🤍 If you’re a carer, thank you for everything you do.

Cold weather can bring extra risks, but a few simple steps can help keep you safe and well this winter 💙

✔ Keep warm indoors - heat living areas and wear warm layers
✔ Prevent slips and falls - clear ice, use non-slip mats, and wear supportive footwear
✔ Check heating systems - make sure boilers and heaters are working safely
✔ Stock up on essentials - food, medication, and supplies in case of bad weather
✔ Stay active at home - gentle movement helps with circulation and balance
✔ Stay connected - regular check-ins with family, friends, or carers
✔ Check smoke & carbon monoxide alarms - especially when heating is used more often

A little preparation can go a long way in keeping winter safe and comfortable.

✔ Improve lighting - especially in hallways, stairs, and bathrooms
✔ Remove trip hazards - secure loose rugs and clear clutter
✔ Install grab rails - ideal for bathrooms and stairways
✔ Consider a stair lift - a safe option for navigating stairs confidently
✔ Use non-slip mats - particularly in the shower or bath
✔ Keep essentials within reach - reduce bending or stretching

Did you know that even just 15 minutes of natural daylight can make an actual difference to an older person’s mood, energy and sleep?

Making sure you get your melotonin is crucial, and with winter’s shorter days, your older loved ones can often end up feeling tired, with a low mood and energy.

But it’s not all doom and gloom - try the tips below to keep them on the front foot this winter
✨ Sit near a bright window for the morning light
✨ Take a gentle stroll outside after lunch
✨ Keep blinds open fully during the day to let the light in

Small changes like these can have huge impacts - helping to regulate sleep, boost vitamin D, reduce isolation and keep spirits bright through the colder months.

It’s deep into December and while we’re all ready to go with the festivities, it’s important to remember that the cold weather and the winter season can make things difficult for our older loved ones.

We’ve pulled together three top tips to keep them safer this winter;

❄️Deep Freeze❄️
Check the temperature of your loved one’s fridge and freezer every month, as colder weather can cause fluctuation in olderr units, causing food to spoil sooner

👣Staying On Your Feet👣
Suprisingly, a lot of falls in Winter often happen indoors rather than outdoors..
Check your loved one’s slippers — if the grip is worn smooth, it’s time for a new pair.

✨Night Life✨
Try to walk the night-time route your loved one uses, for example from the bedroom, to bathroom to kitchen, adding low-level lights to make the path clear and calming.

When you come to Bridgewater to care for your loved one, we know that the main thing you need to know is that we’ll love them as much as you do - so we wanted to show you one of our amazing clients and tell you their story.

We caught up with our carer Camila alongside her client Ines, to find out about what a day in her life looks like, how Camila supports her and how impactful it’s been to have someone more than a carer, but a friend, by her side - check out what they had to say here!
