Top Tips:
Labelling your belongings can help prevent confusion and ensure they don’t get misplaced during the move. Our homes will take care of labelling your clothes for you but you might want to label other things such as walking aids.
Communication – Before your move, communicate with the staff at the care home to understand any specific guidelines or restrictions regarding what you can bring.
Pack thoughtfully – Be mindful of the space available in your new home and pack only what you need and can comfortably accommodate. Don’t forget you can always add more things once you are settled in with us.
Valuable items – our homes do have a safe on site if you have any valuable items you want to store although we would discourage you from bringing valuables where possible.
