How are people coping in the heat?

Managing heat can be tough as a carer, and overheating can lead to health issues like dizziness and nausea for both you and your loved one. Here are some of my top tips for keeping everyone safe and comfortable during the summer:

1. Keep your loved one out of direct sunlight whenever possible.
2. Encourage regular drinks—even if they don’t feel thirsty.
3. Help them wear light, loose clothing suited to the weather.
4. Use fans or air conditioning to keep their space cool.
5. Offer snacks that help cool them down, like ice lollies or chilled fruit.

It’s also really important to recognise the warning signs of heatstroke. You can find NHS advice on what to look for and what to do here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/heat-exhaustion-heatstroke

What are your best tricks for keeping cool in the summer? Share your ideas in the comments—your tip might make a real difference to another carer.

We’re delighted to welcome Home Instead Guildford and Woking to our Care Directory! 🌟

They’ve just launched a fantastic free checklist to help families “Spot the Signs” that an older loved one might need extra support at home. With so many of us juggling busy lives, it’s easy to miss gradual changes in those we care about—things like memory loss, changes in personal hygiene, or concerns around medication and nutrition.

Home Instead’s checklist is based on feedback from families and care professionals across the country, making it a really practical tool for starting those important conversations early. As Sarah Daly, owner of Home Instead Guildford and Woking, says: “Having the care conversation doesn’t have to be upsetting—the trick is to do it early on and keep it regular.”

If you’re worried about someone close to you, you can get the checklist and support by calling 01483 488222 or emailing careteam@gw.homeinstead.co.uk.

Take a look at their services here on their website, which you can find on our Care Directory.

We’re so pleased to have them on board, helping families keep their loved ones safe and well at home. 💜

Planning for a vulnerable loved one’s future can feel overwhelming, but a Vulnerable Persons Trust provides financial security while preserving essential benefits. Without careful planning, an inheritance could unintentionally disrupt their support or leave them financially exposed.

Here are some key tips to consider when setting up a Vulnerable Persons Trust:

- Choose the right trustees – Select individuals who understand the beneficiary’s needs and can manage funds responsibly.
- Preserve means-tested benefits – Ensure the trust is structured correctly so the beneficiary remains eligible for financial support.
- Prevent financial mismanagement – A trust safeguards assets, ensuring they are used solely for the beneficiary’s well-being.
- Plan for long-term security – A well-structured trust provides stability even after caregivers are no longer around.

By setting up a trust, you ensure their well-being, prevent mismanagement, and offer long-term stability tailored to their unique needs. Moneybox Wills and Trusts specialise in creating tailored solutions to help families navigate this process with confidence.

This morning I attended the first healthcare networking breakfast meeting. It was a really well attended, interesting and friendly meeting and I have come away with some fantastic connections.

Brilliant opportunity for businesses in health care and I highly recommend it.

A special mention to Amber from Oakfield Croft who looked after us very well, I can't wait for the next one on Wednesday 16th July 8am-10am.
