Mycarematters Display Options Now Available

Mycarematters Tablet and Chart

There’s now an alternative way to collect and share a person’s needs and preferences, using a simple online tool. Mycarematters has primarily been designed to ensure that a person’s needs and preferences are available without delay in the event they are admitted to hospital.

But the information needn’t languish unseen until that point. It can be used in a person’s home or in a care home to help paid carers develop a relationship with the person they are caring for. A person’s Mycarematters record can be viewed on a tablet or printed out and displayed in a number of ways to suit different environments.

We offer a selection of display options: click here to see the current range, or contact us by phone on 01403 210485 or by email so we can offer some suggestions on the best way to use Mycarematters in order to meet your needs.

The Mental Capacity Act explained

Mental Capacity Act Guide

We were delighted to be invited by SITRA to collaborate, together with Carers Trust, on a new Guide to the Mental Capacity Act, funded by the Department of Health.

It has been specifically designed to support carers of people with dementia and was shaped by input from individual carers, carers groups, professionals and specialist support groups.

The Guide contains advice and support for carers in supporting those they are caring for to make decisions, or when they have to make decisions on their behalf, and gives useful information on when and how to get support and when to involve other people as well as on ‘best interest’ decisions and Lasting Power of Attorney.

It also contains a diary section to record key decisions or events.

“Wonderfully laid out for harassed carers to quickly navigate through.” Family carer

“I have found it such a useful tool to give to care workers as part of their MCA training.” Healthcare trainer
