Supporting Independence at Tillson House Care Home

At Tillson House, we believe that maintaining independence is vital to our residents’ well-being, confidence, and happiness. That’s why we encourage and support our residents to do as much as they can for themselves — with a helping hand when needed. Take Kathleen, for example. The other day, she enjoyed a lovely stroll to the local shop with Summer, one of our caring team members. Together, they picked out some delicious treats, ready to settle in and enjoy an evening of soaps. It’s a simple activity — but moments like these bring joy, purpose, and a sense of normality to daily life. Why independence matters at Tillson House? Being able to make choices, go out into the community, and take part in everyday tasks is incredibly important. It fosters a sense of control, boosts self-esteem, and promotes physical and mental well-being. In our care homes, we don’t do for our residents — we do with them. Every resident is encouraged to continue doing the things they love, and to try new experiences, no matter how big or small. How we support independence: Here are just a few of the ways we help our residents stay active, engaged, and independent: 🌼 Personalised support:Everyone is different. We get to know each resident’s abilities, interests, and goals so we can tailor our support to suit them. 🌼 Choice and control:From what to wear, to what to eat, to how to spend their day — our residents are always in the driving seat. 🌼 Encouraging daily living skills:Residents are welcome to take part in cooking, laundry, gardening, shopping, and other activities that give them a sense of achievement and routine. 🌼 Community engagement:Whether it’s popping to the shops, going out for lunch, or visiting local attractions, we actively support residents to get out and about whenever possible. 🌼 Building confidence:Sometimes, a little encouragement goes a long way. We support residents to gradually regain skills and confidence that they may have lost. A home full of life At Tillson House, and across all our homes, we strive to create an environment where residents feel valued, empowered, and at home. We know that promoting independence isn’t about letting go — it’s about walking alongside someone, giving them the confidence to live their best life. So whether it’s a gentle walk to the shop, helping to prepare a favourite meal, or simply choosing how to spend the afternoon, we’re always here to support our residents every step of the way. Because independence doesn’t have to stop at the door of a care home. In fact — with the right support — it can flourish. Follow Tillson House Care Facebook page here to get more updates from them.

Sunshine, Sweet Treats & St George’s Day Fun at Lenthall House!

This week at Lenthall House Care Home, we took full advantage of the glorious sunshine with a delightful afternoon in the garden — and what better way to celebrate St George’s Day than by making classic jam tarts together? Surrounded by blooming flowers and the cheerful buzz of spring, our residents rolled up their sleeves (and their picnic blankets!) for some old-fashioned baking in the fresh air. With strawberry and raspberry jam glistening in the sun, our homemade tarts were just as sweet as the smiles on everyone’s faces. Laughter, light chatter, and the occasional taste-test filled the garden as we enjoyed the warmth on our skin and the joy of creating something together. And yes — some of us even caught a bit of a tan! It was a simple yet wonderful day, reminding us how lovely life’s little pleasures can be — good company, sunshine, and a jam tart or two.

Blooming Memories at Curtis Weston House 🌼

Flower arranging brings joy and cherished memories to our residents. This week at Curtis Weston House in Wigston, we enjoyed a calm and creative afternoon of flower arranging — and for one of our residents, May, it became a truly special moment. As May carefully selected and styled her blooms, she shared with us that she used to arrange flowers for her local church. Surrounded by fresh petals and the gentle support of our staff, the activity seemed to unlock a beautiful memory. Her eyes lit up, and her hands moved with confidence and joy, as if no time had passed. It was a lovely moment for everyone to witness — a quiet reminder of how meaningful activities can reconnect us with who we are and where we’ve been. The final arrangements were as lovely as the smiles they brought. At Curtis Weston House, we cherish these moments that make our house feel like home — filled with warmth, creativity, and the memories that matter most.
