What do you think of when you think of companionship visits?

Bet you it isn't this!

Care doesn’t have to be serious all the time.

Sometimes it’s a trip out, a coffee, a bit of company — or spending far too long messing around with ridiculous filters. 😂

That’s companionship too.

Good company. Good days. Capable Care.

One of the key challenges about working with dementia is being able to imagine yourself in a world where you you don't quite speak the language and you don't quite know the rules.

Experiences like this which replicate how easy it is to become overwhelmed in a situation can be incredibly helpful in addressing that and building understanding.

Would you have a go?

Keeping our skills fresh 💗

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been working through a series of practical training updates with the Capable Care team — including First Aid, moving safely, medication and some of those everyday situations carers need to feel confident handling.

Training is a core part of what we do, but we like to keep it practical, relevant and relaxed. A chance to refresh skills, ask questions, practise together — and usually have a few laughs along the way!

Because when something happens in someone’s home, we want our carers to feel confident about what to do. 💗

Professional Expertise. Personal Understanding. Truly Capable Care.

We had a lovely start to our weekend with a lovely morning out at St George’s Church in Beckenham, enjoying one of their free weekly concerts. 🎶💗

For us, companionship is about much more than simply having someone there. It’s about helping people stay connected to the places, people and experiences they enjoy. Being local means we know about the little things happening around Beckenham that can make a big difference to someone’s week.

We don’t just work in Beckenham – we’re part of Beckenham. 🌸

Meet Anne-Marie - she's Capable Care's registered manager meaning she's responsible for our business and it values. She has 30 years experience in hospitals, care homes and community care. She has a passion for helping people get the best out of life.

Prior to working with Capable Care she was an Operations Manager in the NHS working at Great Ormond Street Hospital, St Georges and University College London Hospitals. This means she's great at helping people navigate between hospitals and home and always knows who can provide extra assistance to our clients.

Her job is to make sure that everything is running smoothly and we are compliant with all regulations. We were delighted when a client said the words below when they were talking to our independent inspector!

One of the best things about having care at home is that you could keep hold of animals and pets that provide companionship, comfort and a routine.

Did you know for some of our clients we help take their dog out for a walk or feed the cat?

Animals can bring joy, companionship and comfort. Pets can also provide routine, purpose and reassurance, especially when you’re feeling low. 🐾

But did you know they can also support people living with dementia? Today, on International Cat Day, we're sharing six ways animals can help someone with dementia. 💙

Has a pet supported you or a loved one? Let us know in the comments. 👇

The best ideas don't always come from a training plan... sometimes they come from listening🦻

A couple of weeks ago, one of our clients told us that being fed during a care visit hadn't been a great experience. We could have simply acknowledged the feedback. Instead, we acted on it.

At our very next Team Tuesday the day after, we scrapped the planned agenda and delivered a practical session on feeding and dysphagia. We explored why people develop swallowing difficulties, how to recognise the signs, and how to support people safely. Most importantly, our team took turns feeding one another to experience what it feels like to lose control of something as personal as eating.

We were also delighted to involve our work experience student, K, who spent the week with us. K helped shop for the session, prepare the food and joined the discussion, seeing first-hand how listening to feedback can lead to better care.

At Capable Care, we believe feedback is a gift. Every comment is an opportunity to learn, reflect and improve. It's how we build a culture where people feel listened to, our team keeps growing, and our clients receive the best care we can provide. This week's training reinforced that mealtimes are about far more than nutrition—they're about dignity, independence, recognising swallowing difficulties and supporting people safely.

We firmly that believe that if you want to deliver really great care...
🩷 It's about dignity.
🩷 It's about communication.
🩷 It's about understanding what the experience feels like for the person receiving care.

That's the Capable Care difference.

🩷 If you're looking for a care provider that listens, learns and continually strives to improve, we'd love to hear from you.
