Each month Julie Howard, Beaumont Care’s Pastoral Carer, facilitates a Family Support Group where all family members of residents who live with Beaumont Care are invited to attend to share morning tea.
Tara Quirke who is an expert in the provision of care for people with dementia, also supports Julie and is available to provide timely and practical advice to family members who raise questions in a safe and supportive environment.
Some comments from the Group:
- This group is essential, keep it going.
- This is time for us to relax together.
- Keep spreading the love.
- At this group, problems get fixed.
- Lovely to speak with others in the same boat.
- The group is relaxed but very informative.
All family members are welcome to attend this group of supportive folk. Keep an eye out for meeting notices in the Home where your loved one lives.
