At some point in life, everyone experiences a moment of vulnerability when they are at their lowest. Many refuse help from strangers, fearing they'll feel "useless" or lose their dignity, especially if they've always been strong and independent.

In healthcare, particularly in caregiving, there is no shame in feeling weak or frail. As a carer, the goal is to provide unwavering support and the best possible care, ensuring that those they care for can live comfortably and maintain their dignity.

Accepting you need care doesn’t make anybody weak, it makes them strong enough to realise they can still live an amazing life with a little bit of extra help.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of World Blood Donor Day.

As we celebrate National Carers Week, this year's campaign "Putting Carers on the Map” aims to recognise and highlight the invaluable contributions of carers, who can often been unseen and feel undervalued in their communities.

It is crucial to increase their visibility among decision-makers, services, employers, communities and businesses.

This week also provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges carers face. It is a call to action for policymakers and politicians to take meaningful steps to better support the needs of carers.

A career in care truly is a vocation, not just a job. Carers do what they do because they have a genuine desire to make people’s lives better.

If you are looking for homecare, or your nursing or residential home needs experienced and compassionate staff, there is a Kare Plus near you to help. Visit kareplus.co.uk to find your closest office.

Dementia is a cruel disease and much more than memory loss. It extends to difficulties in decision-making, struggling to find words in conversations, and ultimately changes in personality or behaviour.

Eventually, the person can lose almost everything that made them who they are.

These changes can be frightening for both you and your loved ones and we understand the struggles and stress they bring.

If you believe that you or a loved one needs support, reach out today to see how we can help with specialist dementia care.

How many hours do you sleep a day? 8 hours? 5 hours? Less than 3 hours?

We almost all had our ""sleep-is-for-the-weak"" moments during our youth or days at college.

However, the effects of not getting enough sleep leads to poor sleep health. That in turn can lead to an increased risk of a range of problems, such as poor concentration, eating more than we should and low mood.

While it does vary between individuals, aiming to get your 7-8 hours of sleep a night is best for most.

If you struggle to fall asleep or find yourself waking in the middle of the night, here's some tips from the NHS on how to get a better night's rest: https://www.nhs.uk/every-mind-matters/mental-health-issues/sleep/
