A care home in Eye is welcoming new carers to its monthly support group designed to help local people caring for an older loved one, while also providing activities for those who are cared for.

Taking place on the last Thursday of each month, from 2pm-4pm, the community is invited to come along to Hartismere Place care home, on Castleton Way, to its free ‘As Time Goes By’ café.

Carers can enjoy a chat over coffee and cake with likeminded people, while their loved ones make the most of a range of activities. Locals will also get the chance to hear from Karen, from Suffolk Carers Matter, who can offer advice and guidance, and Jan, who is a dementia champion.

Hartismere Place has been designed to deliver the very best standards of care and to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives. The home provides full-time residential and nursing care, as well as short-term respite. Hartismere Place also runs a day club, which offers older people living independently in the community the chance to make new friends and take part in enjoyable activities.
