Making the Most of Rainy Days Together ☔

Rainy days can be a lovely opportunity to slow down and enjoy some time together at home. For someone living with dementia, familiar activities can offer comfort, encourage conversation and bring a sense of enjoyment to the day.

Here are a few simple ideas to try together:
• Everyday tasks: Prepare a meal, fold laundry or pot some plants.
• Creative activities: Enjoy painting, drawing or making something by hand.
• Music and memories: Listen to favourite songs or play a familiar instrument.
• Crafts: Try knitting, sewing or cross-stitch if these are activities they enjoy.
• Reading and writing: Share a favourite book, look through a magazine or write a letter.
• Games and puzzles: Choose something familiar and adapt it to suit their interests and abilities.

The most important thing isn’t what you achieve, but the time spent together. Let your loved one take things at their own pace, focus on what they enjoy and remember that even a small activity can create a meaningful moment.

Choosing Live-In Care for Someone You Love 💜

When a loved one needs extra support, you want to know they’ll feel safe, comfortable and respected, while continuing to enjoy life in the place they know and love.

If you’re exploring live-in care, here are six important things to consider:
• Experience and reputation: Look for a provider with experience supporting people with a range of needs.
• Training and qualifications: Make sure carers have the right skills and training to provide good quality support.
• Carer matching: A carer’s personality and approach should be a good fit for your loved one.
• Flexibility of care: Support should be able to adapt as needs and circumstances change.
• Community involvement: Staying connected with family, friends and the local community can make a real difference.
• Face-to-face contact: Having the opportunity to meet and talk things through can help build trust and confidence.

At PillarCare, we understand how much it matters to have people you can trust supporting someone close to you. Our approach centres on getting to know each person, understanding what matters to them and helping them maintain their independence and quality of life at home.

Our practical guide explains what to look for and which questions to ask when exploring your options. Read the full guide on our website: https://bit.ly/3Vw6vNh

💚 Sometimes, a conversation can make a real difference.

Mental health is part of everyone’s wellbeing, and taking a moment to check in with ourselves and those around us can be important.

It could be asking someone how they are, taking the time to listen, or simply letting them know you are there. Small moments of connection can mean a lot.

If you are finding things difficult, you do not have to deal with it on your own. Support is available:
📞 Samaritans – available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Call free on 116 123.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️

Knowing your body and checking your chest regularly takes just minutes. You can use the ‘TLC’ method from Breast Cancer Now to help remember:
👋 Touch up to your collarbone and armpits for lumps
👁️ Look for changes in size, shape, skin, or ni***es
🩺 Check anything unusual with your GP.

Most changes aren't cancer, but early detection saves lives. Read more on the Breast Cancer Now website here: https://bit.ly/4xZJseA

Helping someone with dementia stay hydrated 💧

Staying hydrated is an important part of looking after our health and wellbeing. For someone living with dementia, however, remembering to drink regularly can sometimes be more difficult.

They may not always recognise that they are thirsty, may forget to have a drink, or could find standard cups and glasses difficult to use. Not drinking enough can contribute to dehydration, which may cause symptoms such as tiredness and increased confusion.

A few simple changes may help make drinking throughout the day a little easier:

✔️ Try brightly coloured cups to make drinks easier to see.
✔️ Keep drinks within easy reach and offer small amounts regularly throughout the day.
✔️ Include foods with a high-water content, such as soups and certain fruits, as part of meals and snacks.
✔️ Enjoy a drink together to make having regular drinks feel like a natural part of the daily routine.

Every person is different, so what works well for one individual may not suit another. If you’re supporting someone living with dementia, Alzheimer’s Society has some useful practical guidance on encouraging regular fluid intake.
