FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CARERS

Community OT recognise that family, friends and carers are of equal importance when supporting those who are in need

- After all, you are the people there when we are not!

You do a lot, often with little to no support.

Community OT provides support and advice for all of the questions you have in regard to all aspects of your caring roles.

Q: Where do I start?!

We take a person centred approach - to you, first.

We will look into your responsibilities,

your health and social situation,

what's expected of you,

and what you expect from yourself

Q: Have I missed anything?

In regard to advice, we go through all the information you have and need, with a fine tooth comb.

We can and will, contact external services to ensure you, your friends and your family, have the best available care and support.

Q: This doesn’t feel right!

We recognise how anxiety-provoking it is to have someone you care about needing support.

Sometimes we just need someone to run things through with to ‘get a load off our chests’

With this in mind, we offer time to do just that - and provide guidance and refer to external services when and if needed!

We work on an effective plan, taking into account your anxieties, wishes and expectations and refer to specialist services when needed.
