Kathryn Homes is facilitating Care Partners across all our homes to support the wellbeing of our residents.
What is a Care Partner?
A Care Partner is a defined practical role to provide additional support to your relative in the Care Home. Care Partner arrangements may not be not for everyone.
A Care Partner is complementary to the care delivered by the staff in the Care Home. It is individualised and tailored to the needs of the resident.
A Care Partner is a close family member or friend who has a long standing relationship with a resident and plays an essential role on a regular basis on maintaining a resident’s health and wellbeing.
A Care Partner is in addition to visiting however it is important to highlight it should not be viewed as simply another opportunity to visit - A Care Partner supports their relative with an identified need such as encouraging them to eat and drink.
Full information about what to expect as a Care Partner can be found here.
Should you wish to discuss becoming a Care Partner for a loved one please speak to the Home Manager.
