Does a dementia diagnosis mean your loved one
needs to move into a care home?

We can assure you that it doesn’t.

With the right care in place, your loved one can continue living safely and comfortably at home, in familiar surroundings.

Home Instead’s dementia specialist nurse Dr Jane Pritchard, an Admiral Nurse from , explains why home care is ideal for someone with Dementia.

“Can I still live a normal life with dementia?” is one of
the most common questions we get asked following
diagnosis.

And the answer is yes. With the right support around
you, it is more than possible to live normally, and live
well. 💚

September marks the 15th anniversary of World Alzheimer’s Month 💚

This year’s theme is ‘The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do. A Diagnosis Matters.’

It’s a message we stand behind at Home Instead Cannock & Burntwood, and one that resonates with many of the families we support across our local community.

An early diagnosis can help you and your loved one access the right support, plan for the future and make informed decisions about care.

If you have questions about dementia or Alzheimer’s, we’re here to listen. We can offer guidance and point you towards local organisations and professionals who can provide the advice and support you need.

Whether you’re concerned about a loved one, supporting someone with a diagnosis, or simply don’t know where to start, you don’t have to do this alone. 💚

Living with dementia doesn’t mean giving up your routines. We help our clients continue with the passions that give life some sparkle.

This week is National Allotment Week – a celebration of the joy allotments bring to people like David.

It’s National Allotments Week, so it feels like the perfect time to share some exciting news from Home Instead Cannock & Burntwood! 💚

We’ve secured a little plot within a local community allotment project and although it’s small, we think it can have a big purpose.

We want to create a space where our clients, Care Professionals, Memory Café attendees, families and wider community can enjoy the outdoors, grow something, share memories and spend time together. 🌻🌱

It feels like the perfect fit with our passion for community, connection and enjoying the simple things in life, something Home Instead is proud to celebrate through our sponsorship of Love Your Weekend. 💚

And we want you to help us shape it!

🌱 What should we grow first?
🌻 What would you love to see there?
💚 And most importantly… what shall we name our little plot?

A little plot. A big purpose.

Growing connections in our community. 🌱
