Absolute star.
I'd phoned and spoke to Tom I was quite desperate and distressed at the start of the call ,spoke to Tom and my goodness I was laughing by tbe end.
Tom had such patience and more importantly took tbe time listening and finding answers, turning my negative and feeling 'left on my own coping',and desperate almost cry for help into feeling positive and feeling that tberes help and advice the otber end of tbe line and more resources out tbere ,as my husbands 'case's had been signed off by two
... support professionals in the last few days as "their work was done " leaving me his carer feeling frightened and desperately alone going further in to the unknown, dementia journey.
Cant praise enough.
Thankyou

Very useful service
They were very helpful when I was having a wobble. They listened, gave me lots of information and applied for some grants for me so I could have a break. It's been a very useful service.

Reassuring
After an hour's long call with Rebecca(G) I felt reassured and much more positive. Having someone neutral to listen and advise and understand what its like to be at the 'coal face' caring meant a lot. Also made me realise too that I shouldn't doubt myself like I do at times. The action plan provided gives me much more clarity to know Ive got something to refer to. Thank You. 😊
  • Carers Matter Norfolk (Norfolk)

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re so pleased to hear that your conversation with Rebecca helped you feel reassured, more positive, and supported. Caring can feel incredibly overwhelming at times, and having someone who truly listens and understands the realities can make such a difference. It’s wonderful to know the action plan has given you clarity and you can refer to it going forward. Most importantly, please remember to give yourself credit for all that you do - carers often doubt themselves far more than they should. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to Rebecca.
