SPONSORED: Get 'Care Wise' this summer with The Manor in Windsor

When care is needed for loved ones in their senior years, many families are caught off guard. 

At The Manor, we understand that care decisions can be difficult as our data shows that 1 in 4 adults make them in crisis mode. Often health and care needs can change rapidly or increase so gradually that families may not notice a loved one needs more support than they are able to provide longer term. 

At The Manor Nursing Home in Old Windsor, we believe the best decisions are made before a crisis. That's why we're inviting local families to take a more thoughtful approach to care planning through our Get Care Wise campaign. 

The Get Care Wise campaign invites you to explore care options early, in a relaxed and informed way. Whether you're noticing small changes in a loved one, or simply want to be prepared, now is a great time to take that first step. We've created a straightforward guide which is filled with accessible advice and practical tips and can be downloaded here.

At the heart of the campaign is the CARE checklist - a simple but powerful tool to help you take control of future care decisions. 

• Clarify terms - Learn what different care options mean so you're not overwhelmed by jargon later. 
• Agree when and how to act - Talk early with loved ones about what signs should trigger next steps 
• Research your options - Understand the differences between home care, residential, nursing and dementia care
• Evaluate regularly - Keep checking in, so you're not waiting for a crisis to force action. 

At The Manor, we are proud to be the top-ranked not-for-profit care home in Windsor. Set in six acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and ideally located near the River Thames, our home provides a tranquil and accessible setting for residents and their families. Recently refurbished, The Manor offers modern, comfortable surroundings while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
