Katherine Harriet

With snow forecast today and tomorrow we are very much aware of all those who are vulnerable in the community and also those that are at risk whilst they carry out their vital roles in the community.
The NHS has issued advice on how to stay warm. People should wrap up, keep moving around their home, prepare hot drinks and eat at least one hot meal a day.
In bad weather check up on friends, relatives and neighbours who may be more vulnerable to cold weather.
... Cold weather is especially dangerous for older people or people with serious illnesses, so if you can check up on anyone locally to you it could make a huge difference.

The Katherine Harriet Team will be walking, jogging and running on the 2nd June 2019 for Race for Life. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
Join us and help us to raise lots of money for this wonderful cause and to remember all the wonderful Clients we have supported over the years.

For someone living with dementia, this frosty weather can be dangerous - and they may not always be able to communicate if they're feeling the cold.
Here are some tips from the Alzheimer’s Society on keeping someone with dementia safe and comfortable when it's cold ❄️

If you, a family member or a friend would like to join us for our next event, this is open to all and you would be made very welcome. Please call the KH Office on (01432) 483083 to book a place. We look forward to hearing from you.

Just received this touching testimonial from a family member of a wonderful Client we supported:
“Many thanks for the care and support you have given us over the past few years. Your service has been exemplary and I cannot praise you enough for your commitment to your Clients. Thank you so much in supporting Dad in his desire to spend this last few days at home. He was able to stay to the end and die with dignity”.

Here is a lovely testimonial we received today from one of our wonderful Clients -

Today we will all pause to remember those who bravely gave their lives for our freedom.
Lest we forget. Remembrance Day 2018.

Free NHS flu vaccinations are being offered to all eligible groups now. The flu jab is an annual one-off vaccine, which changes every year to fight the latest strains of flu, so even if you had a jab last winter, you need another one this year to help stay flu safe.
By getting your flu vaccination you will not only be helping protect yourself but also those around you who may not be able to have the vaccine due medical reasons.

For the elderly and vulnerable, especially those who are living alone, a knock at the door can be an intimidating and worrying experience on any given day – never mind on Halloween.
Having groups of people constantly knocking on your door at night could became an issue and having to answer the door constantly can also increase the risk of a fall.
Let’s celebrate Halloween by having fun and eating many sweets but also taking care of our elderly and frail residents.

The impact of a stroke will be different for everyone.
On World Stroke Day on 29th October 2018 we want to focus the world’s attention on what unites stroke survivors and carers and namely their resilience and capacity to build on the things that stroke can’t take away; their determination to keep going on the recovery journey.
