Personal Matters

In time it may become difficult for your relative to handle their personal circumstances such as health circumstances, contact with government officials, questions about care, housing, etc. There are various options for you to help and support them in this area. Case workers at Community Care Centres are very helpful and experienced and should be contacted as early as possible. Contact Carelink for more information.

It is a good idea to openly discuss the wishes he or she would like to have respected in the future. It will make it easier for you to help your relative when the time comes. Issues for discussion may include housing/residential care, pursuing leisure interests etc 

ACAT or social workers can help you with this.
