SHIRE OF DUNDAS’ Post

Listening to carer support professionals at the Shared Care Scotland conference today reinforced how much we in the physical activity sector could offer carers in terms of giving them short but vital breaks from their full-time and unpaid caring roles. Informal or structured physical activity could be an ideal way to relax, refuel or reconnect to people outwith the caring relationship. However, to what extent do we adapt our services to suit carers’ needs? How well do we listen to find out how we can best support their wellbeing? Are we promoting our services to potential carers - of all ages? Are we connecting to local carer support services to share what we could offer? There is so much potential for cross-sector collaboration - and so many carers who don’t even recognise themselves as such.

Today is Carers Rights Day and it feels like the perfect time to reflect on the work that Carers Trust and Carers UK have done to support carers, especially those who are traditionally underserved by carer support services. Over the past couple of years, I have been working with Sally Cupitt on an evaluation of their Making Carers Count programme. Based on data from this evaluation, together with Ben O'Hanlon and some brilliant carers services around the UK, we developed a series of good practice guides designed to help organisations and services better support carers. It was a rewarding process to pull together these guides as they were rooted in evidence and practical insights from the evaluation. The titles of the guides are: 📘 Developing an inclusive organisation 📘 Creating more inclusive spaces for carers 📘 A whole family approach to supporting carers 📘 Working in partnership to better identify and support carers 📘 Developing young adult carer services – a practical guide Carers play such important and often challenging roles. And it’s so important that support services meet their needs, particularly for those who often face barriers to accessing help. I’m hopeful these guides can contribute to making a difference in the lives of carers and their families. https://lnkd.in/ehHET7kJ #CarersRightsDay #Evaluation

❤️ FAQ: Can couples stay together in senior living communities? ❤️ Yes! Many senior living communities provide accommodations designed specifically for couples. This allows both partners to live together while receiving personalized care that meets their individual needs. Because staying together is what matters most. 💑🏡 #SeniorLiving #CouplesCare #Togetherness #WrightWaySP #SeniorCare #AgingTogether #arizona #fypシ #senior #seniorlivingadvisor #seniorlivingcommunity
