Local home care company Home Instead produce quiz and puzzle booklet to help in the battle against loneliness and isolation

For many older people, regular social activities are a very much enjoyed lifeline for those living on their own. However, many of these activities are still on hold due to current social distancing guidelines.

With this in mind the team at locally based home care provider, Home Instead have produced a free 16-page booklet containing mind-challenging quizzes and puzzles.

The booklet also contains contact details of local health and social care services for the elderly plus details of several other Home Instead publications aimed specifically at how older can live well and independently in their homes.

The booklets have been distributed to all Home Instead clients living in Sidmouth and the wider area plus many other lonely and vulnerable adults in the community free of charge.

Said Director Vanessa McGlade: "We were very aware that many of clients were feeling the effects of social isolation caused by not being able to see family and friends.

"With this mind we hope our quiz booklets will give our clients several hours of enjoyment."
