Exploring care
At Friends of the Elderly we provide a whole range of specialist care services that help support older people. From residential care homes, day care services through to short term respite care, we want those using our homes and services to have the best experience of care possible.
We’ve put together some tips on caring for someone with dementia from our specialised dementia care team.
Our grants for older people
As part of our charitable work, we provide grants to older people, of state pension age or above, living on low incomes across England and Wales. Typically, these might be to help with heating, cooking or safely staying in touch with friends and family.
