🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month – October 2026 🎀

At Mountbatton Care, we're supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month by encouraging everyone to get to know their bodies, recognise the signs and symptoms, and understand when to seek advice.

Breast cancer can affect anyone, regardless of gender, and early detection can make a real difference.

🔎 Know the signs and symptoms:

💕 A new lump or swelling in the breast, chest or armpit.

💕 Changes in the size or shape of your breast.

💕 Skin changes, including dimpling, puckering, redness or a rash.

💕 Changes to the ni**le, including turning inwards, a rash or unusual discharge (particularly if bloody).

💕 Persistent pain in the breast or armpit.

💕 Any other change that is unusual for you.

Remember TLC – Touch, Look, Check!

Get into the habit of checking your breasts, chest and armpits regularly. You don't need a special technique; the important thing is knowing what's normal for you.

Most breast changes are not cancer, but if you notice anything new or unusual, contact your GP rather than waiting for your next screening appointment.

💗 Throughout October, we're also recognising the incredible charities and support organisations helping people affected by breast cancer across the North West.

Whether you're living with a diagnosis, supporting a loved one or simply looking for advice, you are not alone.

Awareness starts with a conversation. Share this post, remind someone you love to check, and help us spread the message.

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday to our lovely Leanne! 💖🥳

What a wonderful birthday Leanne has had, filled with all the things that make her happy!

Her special day began with an exciting morning opening her birthday presents , followed by a lovely trip to church and spending time with her friends.

And of course, no birthday would be complete without a Colin the Caterpillar cake! Leanne also chose one of her favourites, pizza, for her birthday dinner!

It was a day all about Leanne, her choices and celebrating her in the way she loves best. From the little moments to the birthday celebrations, it was lovely to see her enjoying her special day.

Leanne was truly spoilt by all those who think the absolute world of her, and rightly so!

Happy Birthday, Leanne! We hope you've had the most wonderful day, surrounded by friendship, kindness and lots of love. You deserve it!

💚⛪ Leanne’s Adventures – A Sunday Well Spent! 🍂☀️

Sundays are for doing the things you love, and Leanne certainly made the most of hers!

Starting the day dressed in her Sunday best (and looking lovely in her Hello Kitty jumper! ), Leanne enjoyed a little stop at Karen’s Café for a delicious breakfast before heading off to church.

For Leanne, attending church is more than just a Sunday tradition. It’s an opportunity to spend time in her local community, catch up with familiar faces, see her friends and enjoy something that is meaningful to her.

With the glorious autumn sunshine making an appearance, Leanne made the most of the beautiful weather with a lovely walk around Bootle, stopping to admire the incredible nature-themed street art by local artist Paul Curtis, including his impressive 160-metre-long mural!

And, of course, there was time for a few photos along the way!

These are the moments we love sharing. At Mountbatton Care, person-centred support is about so much more than meeting someone's daily needs. It's about supporting people to continue their routines, maintain friendships, enjoy their communities and spend their days doing the things that make them happy.

A lovely Sunday, a happy Leanne and another beautiful memory made!

💚 More Than Just Carers… More Like Family! 💚

Some reviews really do touch your heart, and this one is particularly special.

When we talk about person-centred care at Mountbatton Care, this is exactly what we mean.

It's not just about the practical support we provide. It's about the relationships we build, the trust we earn, the familiar faces that bring comfort and the laughter that can make someone's day that little bit brighter.

To hear someone say “I laugh every day which is so good for my mental health” and describe their carers as friends and family is one of the greatest compliments we could ever receive.

🌟 A very special shout-out to Liz and Dom, who have been personally recognised for their kindness, compassion and those thoughtful little gestures that clearly mean so much.

We're incredibly proud of you both, and of the whole team who have helped build such a lovely, trusting relationship over the past two years.

At Mountbatton Care, we believe that consistency matters, companionship matters, and making someone feel valued matters.

Because sometimes the biggest difference we make isn't something you can tick off a care plan. It's the smile on someone's face, the laughter you share and knowing that someone genuinely looks forward to seeing you.

To the lovely person who left us this review, thank you for your beautiful words. And to our wonderful carers, thank you for being the reason behind them.

🦠🧼 Infection Prevention & Control Week | 18–24 October 2026 💚

Small actions make a BIG difference!

This week, we're recognising Infection Prevention & Control Week, an important reminder of the role we all play in protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of the people we support, our colleagues and our wider communities.

At Mountbatton Care, infection prevention isn't just something we think about during awareness weeks — it's part of the care we deliver every single day.

Whether it's effective hand hygiene, using PPE correctly, maintaining clean environments, following safe care practices or recognising the early signs of infection, every action helps reduce the risk of infections spreading.

As we head into the colder months and the winter flu season, these everyday precautions become even more important, particularly for the vulnerable people who rely on our support.

👏 A huge thank you to our wonderful care and support teams for the care, attention and commitment you show every day. Your dedication to safe, compassionate care really does make a difference.

💚 Infection prevention is everyone's responsibility, and together we can help keep each other safe.

🍂🎃 Leanne's Adventures – Autumn Fun at Farmer Ted's! 🎃🍁💚

Pumpkins, scarecrows, animals, s'mores and plenty of laughter… sounds like the perfect autumn day out for our Leanne!

Accompanied by her lovely support workers Kerry and Elaine, Leanne enjoyed a fantastic day at Farmer Ted's Pumpkin Festival, making the most of everything autumn has to offer!

From exploring the spooky maize maze and petting the animals to pumpkin picking and enjoying some delicious s'mores, there was certainly no shortage of things to do!

And, of course, Leanne couldn't resist a few photo opportunities along the way! 📸 From posing with the scarecrows to becoming one herself, and even climbing into a wheelbarrow for a laugh, her cheeky personality and famous Wigan banter were out in full force!

Just look at these gorgeous photos! The autumn sunshine, the colourful pumpkins and, most importantly, Leanne enjoying herself and making lovely memories with the people who know her so well.

This is what good, person-centred care looks like to us.

It's about so much more than providing support. It's about knowing the person, understanding what makes them happy, encouraging their interests and making everyday life full of opportunities, experiences and laughter.

Leanne loves getting out and about, having fun and enjoying a bit of mischief, and that's exactly what her day was all about!

A huge thank you to Kerry and Elaine for organising such a lovely day, capturing these wonderful moments and making sure Leanne had a fantastic time.

We absolutely love seeing you happy, Leanne. Never lose that wonderful sense of humour — or your Wigan banter!

💚🌟 Leo's Adventures – A Message That Means the World to Us! 🌟💚

Sometimes, something comes along that reminds us exactly why we do what we do. And this beautiful message from our Leo has certainly touched all our hearts!

Leo has taken the time to create this wonderful tribute to Mountbatton Care, filled with his own words, personality and appreciation. And we couldn't be prouder to share it!

One part that particularly touched us was Leo saying:

💚 "Mountbatton Care is my favourite place I've ever lived in."

💚 "This is longest place away from home, 6 years, and I feel so proud of myself to get this far."

💚 "Every second, every day" he feels supported, and he "couldn't thank them more."

But perhaps our favourite part is Leo describing himself as "the cheekiest one here, playing pranks on everyone!" And anyone who knows Leo will know exactly what he means! His cheeky personality, sense of humour and ability to make people smile are just some of the things we love about him.

Leo also thanked everyone who has helped him reach a stage where he feels "happy, active, and proud."

And Leo, that's what means the most to us.

Over the past six years, you've made memories, enjoyed new experiences, developed friendships and achieved so much. But most importantly, you are proud of yourself — and so you should be!

At Mountbatton Care, our aim has always been to support people to live fulfilling lives, make their own choices and feel happy, valued and at home. To hear those feelings expressed in Leo's own words is something truly special.

Thank you, Leo, for this beautiful gift.

We're incredibly proud of you, the person you are and everything you've achieved. Thank you for bringing so much laughter, fun and cheekiness into Team Mountbatton!

And as for your final words, "We all love use" — well, Leo, we all love you too!

🎃🍂 Leo's Adventures – Pumpkin Picking Fun! 💚

Autumn adventures are in full swing for our Leo!

Last week, Leo enjoyed a lovely autumnal day out at the pumpkin patch, exploring the fields and searching for that perfect pumpkin. And in true Leo style, he certainly wasn't going to settle for a little one!

Leo picked himself a rather impressive white pumpkin, proudly loading it into his wheelbarrow before making the most of the opportunity to pose for some brilliant photos!

We absolutely love seeing Leo out and about, enjoying new experiences, making his own choices and creating wonderful memories along the way.

At Mountbatton Care, we believe that meaningful activities are about so much more than simply getting out of the house. They're about having fun, following your interests, enjoying the seasons and making every day your own.

And judging by that smile, Leo certainly enjoyed his autumn adventure!

Great choice, Leo! We think you've found yourself a winner — although you might need a little help carrying that one home!
