Helping you stay involved with your family and community
Helping you stay involved with your family and community
You might sometimes feel alone, whether you are in your own home or a care home. The people involved in your care should check whether you are feeling isolated. They can help you stay involved with your family, friends and community or meet new people. For example, they can put you in touch with people who can help you start a new hobby or interest, or keep up with ones you already do.
Activities you would like to take part in should be written in your care plan. These can be anything you choose, like doing your own shopping, meeting up with friends or volunteering in your community.
You should be given opportunities to meet up with people who have similar conditions as you, if you would like to. You should also be given help to use support groups and other activities. These could be in your local area or by joining a group online.
