HOW
CAN WE HELP?
We
provide:
INFORMATION
By giving carers access to the right information, they are able to make
a decision about how services should be provided, if and when they are
needed.
SUPPORT
Caring for someone at home can be an isolating and demanding experience,
both physically and emotionally. Carers sometimes need support to enable
them to continue in their role and also when they are no longer able to
continue caring at home.
ADVICE
Many carers and their families will be entitled to claim benefits. We can
offer carers a comprehensive Welfare Benefits Advice service.
ADVOCACY
At times carers may feel unable to voice their concerns and opinions to
those responsible for providing care services, therefore we can provide
support with this.
SOCIAL
ACTIVITIES
Caring for someone over a period of time can sometimes mean losing touch
with family and friends, leaving a feeling of isolation and a loss of
confidence. Other carers and former carers understand these problems and
therefore a range of social activities and outings are arranged on a regular
basis enabling carers to meet socially.
