Carer support
Caring for someone living with dementia can be very rewarding, but it can also be extremely demanding – both physically and emotionally. The needs of the person you care for may increasingly have to come before your own. It can be hard to find time to take a break or even to arrange for someone to help you.
However, looking after yourself is important – not only for your own health and wellbeing, but also for your relationship with the person you care for.
Our sharing sessions bring people living with dementia together, to learn, talk openly and make new connections.
Care2Share are virtual groups ran by our Dementia Advisers designed for our client’s carers to come online and join a small group of their peers who are in similar situations.
There are a wide variety of services out there to support you along your journey as a carer.
Carers Oxfordshire is a service that supports carers to maintain their own health and well-being.
