Where we operate

Embracing Age operates across the UK, encouraging and supporting churches to adopt their local care home.

Carers Connected also operates across the UK as the weekly zoom gatherings are not bound by geography.

We also have regional areas where we employ Project Co-ordinators to mobilise volunteers for care homes across the area, currently Richmond upon Thames and the Isle of Wight, with a third area starting in 2022.

Connecting Care Home residents and their loved ones using Alexa
Alexa devices can be a great way to help residents and their relatives stay connected, especially when visiting is restricted. When the resident has an Alexa speaker set up in their room a relative can use it like a hands free phone and "drop in" on the resident to have a chat.

This is particularly helpful for residents who might struggle with using a phone, or if relatives are having to ring on the care home phone to get in touch. Once the Alexa is set up it does not require any supervision from staff, freeing up staff time, and helping relatives to stay connected with ease.
