Caring for the people who care for others! ❤️🫶

Today is World Mental Health Day, and we’re reminding our wonderful carers that their wellbeing matters just as much as the wellbeing of the people they support.

To mark the day, we’ve created a campaign dedicated to our Visiting Angels carers, showing them how much they are valued and appreciated.

Every day, they bring kindness, patience and compassion to others. They deserve that same care and understanding too.

To all our carers, thank you for everything you do. Your mental health matters, today and every day. Please make time for yourselves and remember that it’s okay to ask for support too.

This Grandparents’ Day, we’re celebrating the grandparents who make home feel like home.

From stories and favourite recipes passed down through generations to everyday moments spent together, grandparents hold a special place in our families and communities.

We’re also remembering the grandparents who are deeply missed and recognising the love and care families give to one another.

At Visiting Angels, it’s a privilege to support grandparents to stay independent in the homes they love, close to the people and memories that matter most.

Happy Grandparents’ Day from all of us at Visiting Angels. 💙

It’s ADHD Awareness Month, and this week on No Care Jargon, Honest Conversations, Magda explores an important question: Is ADHD more than just being hyperactive?

ADHD is often associated with hyperactivity, but it can also affect attention, organisation and impulse control. Everyone’s experience is different, and not everyone with ADHD is hyperactive.

Magda talks us through some of the different signs and why ADHD can look different from person to person.

A little more understanding can help challenge misconceptions and make people with ADHD feel better understood and supported.

Today is International Day of Older Persons, a chance to celebrate older people and the experiences, friendships and contributions they bring to our communities.

This year’s UK Age friendly Communities theme, “What’s on your doorstep?”, reminds us of the importance of welcoming neighbourhoods and opportunities to connect close to home.

Whether it’s checking in on a neighbour, joining a local group or sharing a cup of tea, everyday moments can help us feel connected and valued.

At Visiting Angels, we’re proud to support older people to maintain their independence, enjoy meaningful connections and stay involved in the communities they call home.

Sometimes, a simple “How are you?” is a lovely place to start.

It’s World Pharmacists Day, and this week on No Care Jargon, Honest Conversations, Kerrie is answering a question we hear often: what is a dosette box?

A dosette box separates tablets into compartments for different days and times. It can make a medication routine easier to follow, whether someone manages their own medicines or has support from a carer.

Kerrie explains how they work and why it’s important to check with a pharmacist whether one is suitable.

Have you heard of a dosette box before? Let us know below.

It’s National Eye Health Week, and we’re sharing a simple iPhone tip that can make your screen much easier to read.

Did you know you can make the text on your iPhone much larger?

Go to Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text. Switch on Larger Accessibility Sizes, then move the slider until you find the size that works best for you.

You can also make text easier to see by switching on Bold Text under Display & Text Size.

It’s a small change that can make a big difference to everyday phone use.

Repost from Alzheimer's Society

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day 💙

Dementia affects so many people not only those living with a diagnosis, but their families, friends and carers too.

While there is currently no cure for dementia, with the right care, understanding and support, people living with dementia can continue to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Today, we stand alongside Alzheimer’s Society and everyone working to raise awareness, improve support and create a better future for everyone affected by dementia.

We’re sharing this message to keep the conversation going and show our support. Together, we can make a difference. 💙
