Suffolk Family Carers is here to support any family carer whether the person you care for lives at home with you, lives away or in residential care. Most care homes are working hard to find safe, creative ways for Family Carers to see their loved ones. However some retain restrictions as they have difficulty finding a safe way of allowing people to see loved ones. At Suffolk Family Carers we recognise the importance of your ongoing caring role and the impact on you of potential restrictions. This is especially important during COVID.
Family Carer Jean recently explained to BBC Look East some of the challenges faced when caring for a loved one who is in residential care. To watch her moving interview please visit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-suffolk-54301225
