For some people, an allotment is about much more than growing fruit and vegetables 🌱

It can mean routine, purpose, fresh air, happy memories and doing something that has been part of life for many years.

David is living with Dementia, but that doesn't mean giving up the interests that matter to him.

With support from his Care Professional, he can continue spending time at his allotment and enjoying an activity that is an important part of who he is.

That's something we believe is worth remembering when we talk about care.

Good support isn't simply about what somebody needs help with. It's also about understanding the person, their routines, interests, preferences and the things that give their days meaning.

As we celebrate National Allotments Week, we'd love to know:
What's growing well in your garden or allotment this summer? 🌻🍅

A Gold Award for a garden with a powerful message ⭐️🌸

We were proud to stand alongside the Chorley Dementia Action Group at the Chorley Flower Show 2026, supporting a meaningful garden created to raise Dementia awareness, celebrate personal memories and strengthen community connections.

Read the full story here:

Home Instead West Lancashire & Chorley supports the Gold Award-winning Chorley Dementia Action Group garden, featuring a meaningful willow tree and handmade memory plaques.

Day Three of the Chorley Flower Show is here!

Today, we’re taking a closer look at one of the most meaningful parts of the Chorley Dementia Action Group’s Secret Garden. The wooden memory plaques hanging from the olive tree.

Each plaque was created by individuals living with Dementia who attend the group’s sessions, capturing personal memories and moments that matter to them. Together, they turn the tree into a powerful reminder that every person has a story, and that those memories deserve to be shared, valued and celebrated.

We’re proud to stand alongside fellow members of the Group and support a garden that raises awareness in such a thoughtful and personal way.

Come and see it for yourself on a sunny Sunday 🌸

We are incredibly proud to say that judging is in and to reveal the Secret Garden display has received a gold award at the Chorley Flower Show 2026 ⭐️🌸

This recognition means a great deal to us because the garden shines a light on something far more important than the award itself. It helps keep Dementia visible, encourages understanding and reminds local families that support, information and compassionate care is available in their community.

To see a display with such an important purpose recognised in this way is a very special moment.

We are sure the significance of this award is shared by all our fantastic partners of the Chorley Dementia Action Group, congratulations to all involved whose time, care and creativity helped make the garden display possible.

FAQ: Can I change my care service if my needs change?

Absolutely. Care needs can evolve over time, and the support you receive should evolve with them.

At Home Instead West Lancashire and Chorley, we regularly review each personalised care plan to make sure it continues to reflect the Client’s health, wellbeing, routines and individual preferences.

Our trained Care Professionals are also able to recognise changes in behaviour, mobility or general wellbeing. This helps us respond quickly, adjust the level of support where needed and provide reassuring, high-quality care at home.

Whether you are exploring home care for yourself or a loved one, our friendly local team is here to help.
