Why your support matters
Anam Cara provides support and care for all of our guests, but let’s not forget how important it is to help the hard-working carers, too. Watch Jeanette & Chris’ Carer Story.
We are able to provide care to our guests, but also the support that carers need. Jeanette turns around and walks away with her big list of things to do, she never turns around and looks back – she knows he is safe and happy in Anam Cara’s hands.
Ongoing community support allows us to do this, for the time that matters most.
