Carers

“After five years in the water you start routing for the shark.”

In this blog post, we’ll gently explore some of the common claims made around diet and dementia, and offer a balanced, evidence-informed view to help carers and families make confident, safe decisions.

We’re proud to be offering a fully-funded Everyday First Aid Workshop this week at The Institute in Grangefield, Stockton-on-Tees thanks to the donation from One Stop.

As Care Home Open Week comes to a close, today’s post is a celebration and a thank you—to the incredible people who make care homes feel like home.

Engaging, meaningful activity is not just “a nice extra.” It’s central to wellbeing, self-worth, and quality of life.

Whether you’re navigating the system for the first time or seeking reassurance after a difficult experience, understanding the rights of residents and their families can empower you to advocate with confidence.

If your loved one has just moved into residential care, and you’re feeling lost, numb, or uncertain, please know this: your feelings are real, valid, and shared by many others.

Care doesn’t stop at the door of a care home—it simply evolves.
