Sharing the Care is our support kit for families and carers new to residential care.
Designed to help family carers and the person they care for make the transition to residential care a little easier.
Our comprehensive support kit guides you through what to expect and how to cope with this significant life change, from emotional responses and personal wellbeing to settling the resident into their new home. It provides practical advice and easy access to the information and supports you might need during this time of transition.
By working together as Partners in Care we can achieve better outcomes for all.
At the heart of our approach to service delivery is effective and respectful communication.
Our team are here to provide support and to help you access resources to communicate your needs or those of the person you are caring for effectively.
