If you’re navigating the challenges of caring for your adult sibling and would value some advice, support, or simply the chance to chat with others in a similar situation, you’re warmly invited to join our new support group. As a local home care provider, Doris Jones supports older adults in the community. Through our work, we’ve come to know many local families who are caring for an older relative with a disability and the ongoing challenges this can bring.

Our aim is to bring people together to share experiences, explore questions, and find solutions as a group. Over time, we hope to invite relevant professionals, charities, and organisations to join our regular, group-led meetings to offer further advice and support.
