Congratulations Jess & Katie our October Care Professionals of the month.

Jess and Katie have truly gone above and beyond this month. Both have shown exceptional dedication and compassion, not only towards their clients but also in supporting the wider team and office during a particularly challenging time.
They have stepped up selflessly to cover sickness and annual leave, often working outside their usual availability, taking on extra visits at short notice, and putting in long days and hours without a single complaint. Their commitment has been nothing short of inspiring.
From supporting clients with additional needs, picking up medication, and responding swiftly to changes in clients’ behaviour, to dropping off samples at surgeries and ensuring clients are prepared for appointments and even funerals, Jess and Katie have done it all with professionalism, care, and kindness.
They have also travelled long distances to support their teams, even while facing personal challenges and family illness. Their dedication, teamwork, and genuine compassion truly represent the heart of what it means to be a Care Professional.
Thank you, Jess and Katie, for your incredible hard work, resilience, and care, you are both amazing, and we are so proud to have you on our team!

Remember, Remember…. Safety this Bonfire Night in Yeovil, Sherborne and Bridport.
As fireworks light up the sky tonight, the noise and cold can cause unexpected distress for many older people in our community.
This year, help keep your loved ones comfortable and secure by taking these simple steps:

✅ Muffle the noise: Close windows and draw curtains before it gets dark to minimise the startling bangs and flashes
✅Stay warm: Ensure warm clothes are layered up, and hot, comfortable drinks are on hand
✅Offer comfort: Provide reassuring company or a distracting activity if the noise causes anxiety, especially for those with dementia.
We're here to offer long term support that provides safety and peace of mind all winter long.

Planning for winter peace of mind? Contact Home Instead Taunton and West Somerset this week to discuss a consistent, safe care routine. Call 01935 577030 or visit https://www.homeinstead.co.uk/yeovil-bridport/
