By Isle of Wight Observer
You Are Not Alone, at GoodOaks, is a campaign that supports, informs and celebrates the quiet, unseen, commitment that millions of people make to those they love who are struggling to cope day-to-day at home.
No family carer should feel isolated or unsupported in their journey. GoodOaks aims to address the lack of information, resources and assistance for individuals needing extra help to remain independent, and for those caring for them. This campaign is for the unsung heroes, from family members to close friends, who are balancing the demands of caring for a loved one alongside their everyday lives.
To help, they are providing free information sessions, interviews with sector experts, local knowledge, advice and care tips.
GoodOaks have also implemented a helpline at their HQ for anyone who needs extra support or has any questions about care.
GoodOaks provides personal homecare across the whole Island, including after hospital, emergency and respite care, dementia, after-stroke and specialist care, and support for those with learning and physical disabilities. Carers can also provide companionship to help you make the most of the community you love.
