Food, Fabulous Food!
For all of us, food is an essential part of each & every day. The sights, smells, taste, sound & touch of food so often entice & engage us. Today, let’s take a slightly broader perspective on the topic of food & its benefits.
Food-related activities may be one of the areas of daily living that you or a loved one/friend may need assistance with it. Whether it be shopping, planning, preparation or advice, one of our team of carers at InPlace Care is sure to be able to assist.

Sleep; an essential piece in the health & wellness jigsaw.
Our sleep beliefs & habits throughout our lifetimes can vary enormously. We all know of or have parented a child who sleeps poorly; likewise, teenagers who don’t think they need it at all or sleep all day; busy people who would love a good night’s sleep & the genuine insomniac who just can’t find it!
