🚨 Older people can’t wait.

ALONE’s latest survey – the most comprehensive we’ve ever conducted – shows that many older people are facing serious financial hardship due to the rising cost of living.

Without urgent, targeted supports, more older people will be pushed into poverty.

We are calling on Government to:
✅ Raise the State Pension by €22 in 2026, benchmark by 2027
✅ Minimum increases of €20 to the Fuel Allowance, €10 to the Living Alone Allowance, and €7.50 to the Telephone Support Allowance.
✅ Establish a Commissioner for Older People
✅ Create a €10m Energy Poverty Fund

📢 “Older people can’t wait for action on the cost of living, housing, or heating their homes this winter.” – Seán Moynihan, CEO of ALONE

🩸 Today is World Sepsis Day – 13 September 2025 🩸

Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to infection. It can happen to anyone, at any age, and it develops quickly. The danger is that it is often mistaken for flu or other minor illnesses. But every second counts. Early recognition and treatment save lives.

🌍 Common sources of sepsis include:

🫁 Pneumonia
💧 Urinary tract infections
🩻 Abdominal infections such as appendicitis or gallbladder infection
🩹 Skin and soft tissue infections
🩸 Bloodstream infections
🧠 Meningitis
🦠 Viruses, including SARS-CoV-2

🚨 Symptoms to look out for (think S-E-P-S-I-S):

🗣️ Slurred speech or confusion
🥶 Extreme shivering or muscle pain, fever
🚽 Passing little or no urine all day
😮 Severe breathlessness
💭 Feeling like you are going to die
👀 Skin mottled or discoloured, rash that does not fade

👶 Children may also have fast breathing, cold or clammy skin, difficulty feeding, repeated vomiting, or fewer wet nappies.

👥 Who is most at risk?

👵 Adults over 60
👶 Children under 1
❤️ People with chronic diseases (lung, liver, heart)
🛡️ People with weakened immune systems (diabetes, AIDS, cancer treatment)
🫀 People with no spleen

✅ Prevention matters

🧼 Hand hygiene
💉 Vaccination
🚰 Clean water
🏥 Infection control in hospitals
🤰 Safe childbirth
📢 Awareness

👉 If someone is unwell and you suspect sepsis, trust your gut and ask: “Could it be sepsis?” Don’t wait. Seek urgent medical help.

🧠 World Alzheimer’s Month: What is Dementia 🧠

At RHS Home Care, we support many clients and families who are living with dementia. Understanding what dementia is, and how it can affect people in different ways, is an important step in helping loved ones feel supported, valued and included.

Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of diseases that damage the nerve cells in the brain. It usually affects the parts of the brain that control learning, memory and language.

There are many different types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy Body disease and frontotemporal dementia. The way it affects people can be quite different.

Learning more about dementia helps break down stigma and makes it easier to support those living with the condition, as well as their families and carers.
