When you contact us, we can provide information, inform you of other services that may help you and design a timetable of activities that can help you to live well with your illness.
If you have nursing needs and want to make use of the our Services, we can assess whether we can meet these needs. After this assessment, we will discuss a programme of care with you, which could include a referral to other team members, such as a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, chaplain or social worker.
Here are some of the activities that might be available to you:
We understand that looking after someone with an illness can be emotionally and physically difficult. We provide a safe and caring environment for the person who is unwell which will allow you some time to yourself. You are also welcome to access our Services with them or access one of the services that have been designed with carers in mind.
You may want to make an appointment with one of our complementary therapists or attend one of our carers support groups, which take place regularly throughout the month. These groups are an opportunity for you to meet other people who are caring for someone and spend some time in a warm, friendly and relaxed environment.
We run a dedicated support service for Serving and ex-Service Personnel who are living with or caring for someone with a serious or life-limiting illness, or are recently bereaved.
Our wide range of services, including a dedicated Veteran Companions buddy service, can help you find answers.
| Weekly social groups take place on Mondays from 10:00 – 11:30 and 13:00 – 14:30 for any veterans and Serving Personnel, who are living with a serious or life-limiting illness where you can seek advice, support or just a friendly chat with others in the same situation. |
