• Identify people with care or caring needs through a support planning process.
• Self-referrals, county council or continuing health care referrals
• We look at how to meet our objectives on a person-centred basis:
  • reconnecting friends
  • connecting people to local interest groups
  • supporting day trips such as fish and chip day in Cromer, garden centres, historic places etc
  • social lunches, including house share, cafes, and outings
  • gardening – enabling people to continue loving their garden with companionship and practical support (no overgrown gardens on our patch!)
  • dog walking and pet care (enabling people to keep their best friends at home)
  • pamper sessions for men and women

Sometimes the journey from where people find themselves (living in a room in a chair) needs to start closer to home and perhaps by soaking feet, as preparation for the journey ahead, helps unlock the barriers as to why people have become self-isolated.
