Caring for the Carers ‘Wellness’ packs
We have been busy saying ‘thank you’ to carers who work in care homes in Northampton. We have created special ‘Wellness’ packs for those in the Care sector who are working tirelessly to provide care and help to the elderly and ill, risking their lives on a daily basis. We were able to start this through people’s kind donations on our GoFundMe page.
To date, we have delivered over 800 packs to care home staff, at:
Burlington Court Care Home
Holly House Residential Home
Rathgar Care Home Ltd
St Johns Care Home
Collingtree Park Care Home
Argyle House Care home
Brampton View Care Home (whom we managed to get into their Newsletter)
Oak Lodge Care Home
Brain Injury Unit
Tasker House Care Home
Redclyffe Residential Home
Spencer House
Ashurst Mews Care Home
Cliftonville Care Home
The Angela Grace Care Centre
We have recently secured funding to enable us to continue providing ‘wellness’ packs for carers. If any care homes would like our help ask them to get in touch, we are trying to contact as many as we can.
Connect with Kindle HD Fire
We have an exciting new project to help those communicate with loved ones who are unable to visit during this pandemic. We have just secured funding through the Northampton Community Fund, and have purchased Kindle HD Fire tablets which we can offer to Care Homes so that residents can communicate with their families during isolation. Below you will find how to set up and use Skype and WhatsApp to communicate via video.
