If someone is having a stroke, every minute counts. Without oxygen brain cells begin to die in minutes, so receiving fast treatment is crucial for avoiding life-threatening consequences.
In the UK, a stroke occurs every 5 minutes. The good news is that by knowing the causes and signs of a stroke you can take quick action and perhaps even save someone’s life.
Good nutrition and hydration are important at any age, but this is especially true for the older generation. Maintaining a healthy diet and staying properly hydrated can help you increase your energy levels, control your weight and may even prevent certain health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.
Understanding what a well-balanced diet looks like is vital for staying healthy throughout all of life. Here you can learn more about the importance of nutrition and hydration including tips on how you can maintain a healthy diet as you get older.
As we get older, numerous changes occur in the body which can lead to poor blood circulation. When blood flow is reduced in certain parts of our body, this is known as a circulation condition. Not only can these conditions cause pain or discomfort, but they can also lead to a variety of troubling health problems if not properly managed.
In older adults, circulation conditions are often related to an underlying medical condition. If you are having difficulties with circulation problems, it is important to follow the recommendations of your doctor. But there are also many lifestyle changes that older adults can take to [...]
Memories are an important part of our lives. They help us connect with our past, preserve our legacy, and provide comfort and joy in the present. However, for people living with dementia, preserving memories can become a significant challenge. Memory loss and cognitive decline can make it difficult to remember important events, people, and places.
A memory book is a personalised collection of mementos, photos, and stories that document the life and memories of an individual. It can serve as a valuable tool for people with dementia to help them remember, reminisce and connect with their past.
A personal care routine allows us to maintain good hygiene and a tidy appearance. Regular bathing helps keep our skin, hair and mouth clean and healthy, and as a result, contributes towards the positive mental health we need to enjoy every aspect life has to offer. But some older adults face unique challenges that make it difficult for them to maintain personal care routines.

Many people use the words Alzheimer’s and dementia interchangeably, but it is important to know that they are not the same thing.
The term dementia is applied to a set of symptoms that negatively impact memory and cognitive function, but it is not a disease itself. Alzheimer’s is a specific disease of the brain that can lead to dementia symptoms. However, not all dementia is caused by Alzheimer’s.
The importance of independence as we age cannot be understated. Due to the natural ageing process or health concerns, it is normal to depend on others for extra support. While we all need a helping hand from time to time, maintaining a sense of freedom and autonomy over one’s own life is vital for both physical and mental health.
Although age or health concerns can make living independently more challenging, there is help available. If you feel that you could use some extra support at home to continue living life on your terms, home care can help you enjoy as much [...]
Advocates play a crucial role in health and social care by providing a voice for those who may be marginalised or overlooked. They help ensure that the needs and rights of people in the UK are respected and their voices heard.
Health and social care are complex and multifaceted fields, requiring professionals with a range of skills and expertise to provide the best possible care and support to those who need it most. However, even the most skilled and experienced practitioners cannot always advocate effectively for their clients or patients without additional support. This is where advocates play a critical role.

Person-centred care is an approach to healthcare that prioritises the needs, preferences, and values of the individual receiving care. It involves treating patients with empathy, kindness, and respect and places each person at the heart of all decisions about their own care.
The goal of person-centred care is to empower people to take an active role in their own health and well-being by tailoring care to their unique needs and involving them in the decision-making process.
