We Recognise the Importance of Carers
At The Grange, we recognise the important role that carers play in the lives of the people we serve. We are committed to supporting carers and making sure they have the resources they need.
If you are a carer who uses our services and you are interested in having a carer lanyard and card, please contact one of our staff members or contact Health watch Kirklees on 01924 450379 or email [email protected]
A carer lanyard or card is a discreet way to let others know that you are a carer. This can be helpful in a number of situations, such as when you are attending appointments with the person you care for or when you are out in public.
Benefits of having a carer lanyard or card:
- Improved communication with healthcare professionals
- Increased awareness and understanding of your caring role
- Helps others to identify you as a carer
- Can raise awareness of the important role that carers play
- May help you to access additional support services
We encourage all carers who use our services to consider getting a carer lanyard or card.
If you are a patient with us and need carer support, please let us know. Our staff can help you to identify resources and support services that can help you. Here are some additional resources that you may find helpful:
