Care Homes
Challenges far from Home
Here at Attach A Tag, we know it can be tough having your loved ones separate from you in a care home, especially if it’s far from your own home. In this post, we've spoken to our friends at Beehive Dementia Care to help us touch on the points that can be challenging around the festive season and try to ease you through.

Admitting your vulnerabilities and needs is one thing, but entrusting other people to look after you for the long term - away from those close to you - is a big step that many of us will go through as we enter the later years of our lives.

Clothing can often have sentimental value and be a precious commodity, which is why it’s important to have a secure and durable way to name and personalise clothing. This blog post explores how such a simple and effective solution to reducing lost items improves the care environment greatly.
