As the colder months approach, it’s important to remember that people living with dementia may not always recognise when they are feeling cold or be able to communicate it. Alzheimer’s Society highlights that winter can bring additional challenges, making warmth, comfort and routine especially important.
Simple ways to help include:
• Wearing warm layers and appropriate clothing
• Keeping living spaces comfortably warm
• Encouraging gentle movement to aid circulation
• Making the most of natural daylight
• Maintaining familiar daily routines
• Enjoying regular meals and warm drinks
• Remembering to stay hydrated, even in colder weather
At Ravenswing Manor, we understand that comfort, companionship and personalised support make all the difference. By creating warm, welcoming surroundings and providing attentive care, we help our residents stay safe, comfortable and connected throughout the winter season.
