Flu can be far more serious for the person you care for. It can lead to complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia, which could result in an admission to hospital. Don’t put it off, contact your GP or pharmacist to get a free flu jab. Carers who are eligible include those who are in receipt of a carer’s allowance, or those who are the main carer of an older or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if the carer falls ill. Find out more about the flu vaccine and for further advice on helping yourself and the person you care for stay well this winter visit https://www.nhs.uk/staywell/carers 3 Carers Rights Day is a national event and opportunity for organisations and services to empower carers in their community. Whether you are starting your caring journey or someone who has been caring for a long time, we believe it’s important: • for you to know who is there to support you • to be in touch with the services in your community • to know about your rights as a carer For Carers Rights Day 2019 we have organised an information event in each locality area (where our teams are based around the county), either on Carers Right Day Thursday 21st November or on the Saturday 23rd November, to enable carers who work in the week to attend.

Our first review is of: Finding your way: Caring for yourself while caring for someone else, by Verran Townsend, reviewed by carer Linda Shannon: This is such a lovely, powerful book, written in a simple but enigmatic style. It covers the period Verran first identified that Karen, his wife, had health issues and continues as her illness progresses, and Verran moves into a long-term caring role. Their lives were no longer the ‘normal’ that they were accustomed to. As their world gradually changed, Verran came up with thought-provoking tips and coping strategies. He highlights the importance of carers having time and space for their own wellbeing to remain mentally and physically fit and provide compassionate care. His ideas and solutions aid him in the challenges of caring towards the end of life pathway, some as simple as to cry, accept support and help offered by others. He also suggests trying to maintain some semblance of normality by finding time for hobbies, opportunities for fresh air and exercise, and not being afraid to talk about bereavement, which will resonate with all of us as carers. Visit https://devoncarers.org.uk/your-voice/book-reviews-from-a-carers-point- of-view/ to find out more. You can purchase this book from Amazon https://www. amazon.co.uk If you have read or would be interested in reading and reviewing a book that might be of interest to carers, please let us know on t: 03456 434 435 or email us at e: [email protected] 5 Top tips for a happier Christmas The following tips were shared by carers Christmas for carers takes a little more planning, however these tips should help to make the festivities run smoothly. Be prepared: Ensure you have enough medication for the festive period. If shopping together, check accessibility of parking and toilets, check for quiet times or shop online. Have a bag packed with everything your person will need if eating out (adapted cutlery, favourite low fat, low sugar food or drink alternatives) Christmas decorations: Put them up gradually so they are not overwhelming, create a quiet room with low stimulation, involve the person you care for as much as they can or want to be. Take up offers of help: The fiddly bits such as the lights, collecting heavy shopping, sharing the preparation or cooking, taking a turn in sitting with or involving the person you care for. Ask for presents that will be useful - gifts of time or jobs around the house. Can the family club together to get you a tablet so you can become connected online. See from the perspective of the person you are caring for: Prepare family that the person you care for may not remember their names and may take themselves off somewhere quiet. Consider small gatherings rather than a big get together. Does the person need their routine maintained? Keep distracting noise to a minimum. Sing familiar carols or play simple games that do not rely on memory, such as pass the parcel. Time for you!: Make sure you have some treats for yourself, even if the person you care for does not share the importance of the day. Indulge by buying yourself a present, get outdoors, sing, play games, see family and friends.

  • CLAWTON CLARION February 2019
    CLAWTON CLARION February 2019 Welcome to the February 2019 edition of the Clawton Clarion. We are all still in the long dark days of winter, but St Valentine’s Day is a welcome celebration to look forward to in February. The encyclopaedia Britannica tells us that this holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February to herald the coming of Spring and fertility. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine's Day. It came to be celebrated as a day of romance from about the 14th century through the writings of the poet Chaucer. We have started a new section of “Parish Notices” this month. Please send any good news, comments, birthday messages or welcomes to be included. This month’s puzzle is a Winter-themed wordsearch. If you would like this feature to continue, please e mail me some puzzles to be included. We are always looking for more people to help and participate in the events to keep Clawton the vibrant community that we know and love, and to maintain our village facilities. Don’t forget, the Clawton Clarion is about YOU and YOUR COMMUNITY. Please send any contributions for the next edition by 20th February 2019 [email protected] or call me, Judi Graham: 01409 271265 If you would like to receive the Clarion electronically, send me your e mail address.
