Activities and Tips for Older People and Carers In The Summertime
Summer can be a busy time for families, with holidays away and often additional childcare responsibilities to juggle. It can be difficult to always find the time for older relatives or to make them feel included in the summertime activities. It can also be a time when warmer temperatures (or incessant rain!) can make exercise and the usual outside activities more dangerous or unpleasant.

Personal Assistant or Home Care – What’s The Difference?
You’ve decided that your loved one would benefit from care at home, but you might be wondering what the difference is between getting a personal assistant or a specialist home carer to support them?

Dementia & how pets can improve lives
Whether your friend, relative or loved one is living at home or in a care environment, the impact of living with dementia can be difficult for all involved. This April is National Pet Month and what better month to discuss the positive impact that pets have on our lives, with an emphasis on those living with a form of Dementia.
Dignity in senior home care
We like to make sure that treating all our home care clients with the utmost dignity is always at the forefront of our minds. At Bridgewater Home Care we use our ongoing training to seek out ways in which we can improve quality of care for all our clients and their families. Every individual, no matter what their personal circumstances, must be treated the respect and dignity they deserve throughout their time with us.
