Looking for care for someone you love can bring a mixture of feelings. You may be hoping for reassurance, worrying about the change or wondering where to begin. Tell us about the person and the support they need. We can help you explore the options and explain the next step, one conversation at a time.
Start with the person, then explore the options.
Our residential, nursing and dementia pages explain the questions to bring to an initial conversation. If you are considering respite or daytime support, ask about current arrangements, assessment and availability. A service mentioned on a website cannot establish an individual offer.
Choose a starting point
First, tell the team broadly what you are looking for and your timing. Next, arrange a visit if appropriate. Before any care arrangement is agreed, the home needs to consider individual suitability through assessment, relevant information and a discussion of written fees and terms. Avoid sending confidential records in a general website form.
