 Other Information& Advice

Picture
We can help with the following: (see below for more information)​​
  • Care - Options and funding
  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Local Tradespersons - list of referenced possibilities
  • Legal
The above is just a small taste of what we can help you with, and if we can't help you with something specific we will probably know someone that can!

We have an interview room available if you need any help or advice on matters that you do not want to discuss in the general office.

CARE
We can talk through various options for care, both in your own home or in a residential setting.  We will also be able to go through funding options available and ensure that all benefits are being paid to those that will be self funding, or those paying for their own care at home.

Are you, or a family member or friend struggling with every day tasks, like getting washed and dressed, getting to the bathroom, getting up and downstairs, getting in or out of bed?  You may be struggling with breathlessness, unsteadiness, dizzy spells or a whole range of other illnesses.  It is certainly worth giving our Information and Advice Manager, Jane Archer, a ring to discuss this - she can be contacted on 02380841199.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING
We can provide you with information on caring for your eyes, going into hospital, healthy living, managing incontinence, avoiding falls, care at home, adapting your home, choosing care homes and many other topics.   We also have information on some of the local groups that we can put you in touch with.

LEGAL
We are not legally qualified here, but we do have information on topics such as; looking after someone else's affairs, wills and estate planning, your consumer rights and more.  So if you need any information on these topics please pop in and pick up one of our brochures.

LOCAL TRADESMEN
We keep a list of referenced tradespeople in various disciplines including;
handymen, plumbers, electricians, painters and decorators, gardeners, builders and lots more besides

 
We are also able to do a benefits check for you to ensure that you are getting the benefits you are entitled to.
We generally make appointments for these types of meetings, so if you would like to chat to us privately, and in confidence this can easily be arranged.
Either pop in to the office and make an appointment or ring us on 023 8084 1199 and we will book you in to see someone that can assist you.
