Your involvement can make all the difference
Wanting to be involved in this person’s care and services is justified. Talk to them and their care providers about it. You can play an important role in their recovery. The care providers are there to include and listen to you. Your input and experience count.
As a loved one, you can expect the following from the care providers involved:
- to be considered, accepted and listened to, because your experience and knowledge are important;
- to be included as a real partner of the care and services team if you wish, and with the person’s consent;
- to be equipped, by obtaining the necessary information and support to assist the person and adapt to the situation.
