Office Move

We are pleased to announce that Pineapple Care will be moving into our new office on the 1st June 2018. The new offices will create a new training room, plus 2 further home care offices where staff will be able to enjoy the open door policy. We have had a very successful few months with staff receiving lovely compliments from our service user.

As part of our recruitment process, all staff will be asked to register as Dementia champions, and we will be promoting this throughout our care delivery.  If you know of anyone that is looking for private care, or via a Direct Payment, please share our details as we currently have capacity within Thurrock.

Staying healthy in winter guidance

We want you to stay healthy in winter

Its extremely important to look after ourselves in winter as cold temperatures can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of flu and other lung-related problems. Its important to keep moving, even if you do not feel like it. Moving will generate heat and help you to keep warm, whilst keeping your fitness levels up.

  • If you are unable to get out, chair exercises are a good way of keep your circulation moving. You can do leg and arm exercises and even wiggling your toes will help
  • If able, take a short walks even if up and down your lounge.
  • Make yourself a warm drink and spread any chores throughout the day.
  • .Eat well with hot meals and drinks throughout the day. Having a hot drink before bed, or using a flask is also a good idea.

 

We will regularly upload advise and guidance, so keep watching this page.
