Home Care Wears It Blue!

Go Team Home Care!

Here's a heartwarming collection of our fantastic community care professionals wearing blue today to raise awareness for #DementiaActionWeek.  Some of our lovely community clients have also joined us in wearing blue today.

They've been out with their bunting, busily decorating clients' homes and gardens to spread awareness, generate smiles, and promote inclusion around dementia.

Gorgeous smiles, gorgeous bunting, gorgeous people - thank you all!

Put Dementia On The Agenda!

💙💛💙We've been sharing updates every day this week, packed with info, useful tips, and a dash of fun, all aimed at boosting #DementiaAwareness! 🧠💡

🙏 A massive shout-out to the Selsey Community Forum for putting #DementiaAwareness on the map and energising our efforts to build community-wide support. 👏👏

To wrap up this impactful week, let's unite to #PutDementiaOnTheAgenda! As the next General Election nears, it's our chance to prioritise dementia care at the highest levels. 🗳️✨

There are currently estimated to be 982,000 people living with dementia in the UK and this is projected to rise to 1.4 million in 2040. The scale and the need to prevent, diagnose, support, live and die well with dementia will only become greater.

We need your voice! 📢 Join us in signing an open letter to party leaders, advocating for transformation in dementia care. 🖊️ Check out the link below to make a difference with Dementia UK:

Herbert Protocol forms

💙💛💙Dementia Awareness 🤔 Why should you fill out a Herbert Protocol form? 📝

The Herbert Protocol is a crucial risk reduction tool 🛡️ for when someone with dementia goes missing.

👤 It involves a simple form filled with essential details about the at-risk individual. This information can be swiftly handed to the police 🚓 if they are reported missing, drastically cutting down the time needed to start a search.

🕒 Remembering details during such a stressful time can be distressing for families and friends. This form helps alleviate that stress by ensuring all critical information is ready when needed. 🙌
