Just the thing for spring

Just the thing for spring A gentle reset for your home and your health

Traditionally, spring is the season of sorting, clearing and resetting.

And a spring refresh for your mobility can be just as meaningful – it’s just about taking the right approach.

We’re not talking about heavy lifting, climbing in and out of the loft, or pulling out the sofa to get to a year’s worth of dust. Small changes can make a big difference!

1. C lear the clutter and reorganise the things you use the most so they’re within easy reach. You’ll be surprised at just how uplifting it can feel to have a proper tidy up (honest!).

2. T he days are longer, brighter, and hopefully warmer. Gentle daily exercise or short walks outdoors with proper support can boost circulation and flexibility, which can in turn keep you more comfortable when you’re sitting down relaxing. Consistency beats intensity here!

3. At home, adding a touch of colour, perhaps with fresh flowers or a bright new cushion on your favourite chair – can give a big boost to your mental wellbeing.

4. If your mobility equipment has spent the winter in hibernation, spring is a good time for a quick maintenance check. Make sure everything is clean, properly adjusted, and, most importantly, still suited to what you need.

The peace of mind

Traditionally, spring is the season of sorting, clearing and resetting. annual service And a spring refresh for your mobility can be just as meaningful – Did you thattaking CareCothe offerright approach. it’s justknow about an Annual Peace of Mind service for mobility scooters?

For anyone who’s ever wished for deeper, better, more restorative sleep, help is at hand.

We’ve teamed up with James Wilson, widely known as The Sleep Geek, to bring practical, no-nonsense sleep advice to customers across the UK. James is one of the country’s leading sleep experts, with an impressive track record.

Travel

Your gear, your rules The biggest advantage of choosing river or rail over the runway is the freedom to bring the equipment you trust.

Power without paperwork Navigating airline regulations for lithium-ion batteries is a major hurdle.

On trains and cruises, those "gate-approval" battles disappear. As long as your aid is batteryoperated and in good repair, you can usually bring it aboard without complex paperwork.

Respect for independence A primary anxiety of flying is handing a cherished powerchair to baggage handlers.

With rail and river travel, your equipment stays with you. Most trains accommodate aids with a combined passenger weight of up to 300kg, keeping yoursource of independence safe and by your side.

Instant exploration By skipping luggage carousels and cargo holds, you avoid the nervous wait to see if your mobility aid emerged unscathed.

The world is just as beautiful from a train window or a ship’s deck, and significantly easier to navigate when you have your own reliable wheels beneath you.

The Science of Nostalgia It turns out our love for the coast isn't just sentiment; it’s science. Recent research suggests that ‘blue’ environments – the sea, lakes, and rivers – are ‘emotional anchors’, with 26% of nostalgic places identified by UK residents being coastal, far outperforming forests or mountains.

These spots hold a unique power to boost our well-being. Whether it’s the clatter of the 2p machines, crashing waves and even the screech of a seagull, the seaside is the hallmark feature of our collective memory.

Investment is also ensuring these memories are available to everyone.

Significant upgrades to level-access walkways and refurbished coastal lifts mean that navigating hilly paths or sandy terrains is easier than ever.

The British seaside is no longer a fading postcard; it is a vibrant, evolving sanctuary that continues to prove we really do like to be beside the seaside.

Recipe

Banoffee Overnight Oats Start your day the right way Overnight oats are the perfect slow breakfast, they do all the hard work while you’re sleeping!

It’s filling, feels like a treat and packed with slow-release energy to keep you fuelled all day.

Perfect fuel for a sharp mind.

Prep time: 5 minutes (plus soaking overnight). Serves: 1

Ingredients

Method

50g Rolled Porridge Oats For steady, slow-release energy to avoid mid-morning brain fog.

1. T he base: In a jar or bowl, mix the oats, milk, flaxseeds, and cinnamon.

100ml Milk of your choice (Dairy, Almond, or Soya).

2 heaped tbsp Greek Yoghurt High in protein and B12, which are essential for brain health and nerve function.

1 tbsp Walnuts (Crushed) Rich in Omega-3 (DHA) to support memory and cognitive performance.

1 tbsp Ground Flaxseeds or Chia Seeds Essential fats for brain cell maintenance.

1 Ripe Banana Provides Vitamin B6, which helps produce the ‘feel-good’ hormones serotonin and dopamine.

1 tsp Raw Honey: A natural source of sweetness, and some sources suggest it protects the brain from stress!

A pinch of Cinnamon To help maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the morning.

32

2. T he creamy layer: Stir in the Greek yoghurt and half of your honey. The yoghurt makes the oats incredibly thick and satisfying, while the honey adds a gentle, natural sweetness.

3. T he flavour: Mash half of the banana and fold it into the mixture. This ensures every spoonful has that classic banoffee taste.

4. T he overnight soak: Pop the lid on and leave it in the fridge overnight to work its magic.

5. T he smart topping: Before serving, slice the rest of the banana on top. Sprinkle over the crushed walnuts and finish with a final tiny drizzle of the remaining honey.

Why it’s brain food: Walnuts: These look like little brains for a reason! They are one of the best plant-based sources of brain-protecting fats.

Raw Cacao: Raw cacao is a powerhouse of antioxidants that help protect brain cells from oxidative stress.

Steady Energy: Complex carbs help prevent the mid-morning “brain fog” that comes after a sugary breakfast.

Top Tip Grab your jar and a spoon, and you’ve got a nutritious breakfast to enjoy on the move

Designed by Science, Refined for Life Most pillows treat the head like a static weight, but Simon Bacon, a UK Osteopath with 30 years of experience, knew better. He saw countless patients struggling with pillows that were either too rigid or lacked intuitive support.

Instead of forcing your neck to conform to a preformed shape, the simonsleep® adapts to your unique build and shifting sleep styles throughout the night.

Confidence After a Fall

Rebuilding your

confidence after a fall A fall can happen at any moment, but its impact can linger far longer...

Beyond the physical pains, many people experience something less visible but just as powerful: a loss of confidence. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Most importantly, confidence can be rebuilt.

The first step is acknowledging what happened without letting it define you. Falls are more common than many realise, particularly as we grow older, but they do not mean that your independence is out of reach. Instead think of a fall as a signal to review your balance, strength and environment.

Rebuilding confidence happens through gradual, manageable steps. Gentle movement, perhaps guided by a healthcare professional, can help you feel steady again. Even short, regular walks indoors can make a significant difference. It’s also important to look at your surroundings. Simple changes at home can significantly reduce risk and ease apprehension. Removing loose rugs,

The right mobility support can be life changing.

Walking aids, rollators and mobility scooters aren’t symbols of limitation – they are tools for independence.

Finally, talk about how you’re feeling.

Confidence isn’t built in isolation. Family members, friends and professionals can offer encouragement and practical advice.

Magic Square

Tips

In a Magic Square, the numbers in every row, every column, and both main diagonals must add up to the exact same total – known as the Magic Constant.

• Each number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) can only be used once.

In this cosmic grid, the Magic Constant is 15. Use the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once to complete the square.

We've started you off with a few “anchor stars” to guide your way.

6

• T he sum of the three numbers in any direction (up, down, across, or diagonal) must be 15.

• Logic over luck: Look for rows or diagonals that already have two numbers filled in – that's your easiest entry point!

Seizing the sunrise Your best day starts before your first cup Retirement offers a beautiful gift: the ability to own your time. But without a little structure, it’s easy for the hours to slip away.

Customer story

Unfamiliar territory Alistair found a little help at an uncertain time When Alistair was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in February 2024, his life changed overnight.

Living in the Norfolk village of Gressenhall with his wife Sue of 21 years, he suddenly found himself navigating unfamiliar territory. And like many people in that situation, he didn’t know what support was available, or where to begin.

“When I was first diagnosed, my knowledge of what support is available was absolutely none,” Alistair says. “For a lot of things, we were starting from scratch.”

That uncertainty is something so many families can relate to. When facing a life-changing diagnosis, understanding the right adaptions can feel overwhelming. Often, you don’t know what you need.

Scan here To learn more about Alistair's story

For Alistair, simply being able to explore his options made a difference, giving him some much-needed clarity. After popping into his local CareCo branch, trying products in person and sitting with some friendly and supportive staff, Alistair found a riser recliner that is more than comfortable – it's also flexible, meaning he can future proof his support.

With a condition like motor neurone disease, physical changes can be unpredictable. Strength and movement may alter over time, and what feels comfortable today may need adjusting tomorrow.

Customer story

Try for yourself

When I was first diagnosed, my knowledge of what support is available was absolutely none.

For a lot of things, we were starting from scratch.

Alistair Beattie, CareCo customer

Alistair found reassurance in knowing a recliner chair could adapt with him and his needs. It offers tailored comfort from sitting to standing, and even the option to rest or sleep on if needed, with the reassurance of one less thing to worry about on a difficult day.

Just as important as the offering was the support he received at CareCo. He recalls the staff taking the time to listen, answer questions and suggest options he didn’t even know existed. “You don’t know what you don’t know,” he laughs, and that’s exactly why expert, compassionate guidance matters in a time of overwhelm.

The Sereniti is a truly luxurious riser recliner available in a range of fabrics and colours and with four motors for total control over your comfort, posture and pressure relief.

For Alistair, the journey is ongoing. But finding practical support early has helped him focus less on what might be lost, and more on maintaining comfort, dignity and independence in the present.

And with four motors to adjust your leg height, recline, head support and lumbar support, it offers an infinite number of seating positions.

With elegantly scrolled armrests and plush fabric upholstery, it looks just as good as it feels, too.
