WALFINCH home care Windsor and Maidenhead is offering health checks to clients, free activities, and spiritual wellness support.
The care team will offer clients checks of their blood pressure, heart and breathing rates, oxygen levels, temperature, alertness and awareness, using the Whzan Blue Box tool.
The readings combine to create a National Early Warning Score, used by NHS health care practitioners, which, with clients’ permission, can be sent to their GP or other health professionals.
Leena Bector, owner of Walfinch Windsor and Maidenhead, said: “As part of our aim to make 2026 a Year To Thrive, we are offering optional health checks for clients.
“We also offer activities that enhance wellness socially and spiritually, through community contact.
“Many studies have shown how physical activity can increase healthy longevity, and scientific papers have shown repeatedly that the community aspects of religion can extend people’s lives by years.”
Leena’s service already works in close co-operation with the NHS to provide specialist complex care to clients, plus many other kinds of adult social care.
Leena and her 27-strong care team will also be launching a Walfinch Thrive Club, offering exercise and activities sessions in a local venue to anyone in the community free of charge. Attendees can also get health and lifestyle information from carers and local professionals, including how to check their osteoporosis risk using The Great British Bone Check, a free online tool from the Royal Osteoporosis Society.
