The Friday Care Tip 20th March 2026
The Carers Card UK
Did you know there is no single government-issued or compulsory “official” carers ID card in the UK? Instead, several recognised schemes—run by charities, organisations, and companies—offer carers ID cards that provide recognition and practical benefits.
Who are unpaid / family carers? These are people who:
• Look after a relative, partner, or friend
• Are not employed as carers
• Often receive little or no formal recognition
Carers Card UK
⭐ A popular choice for many carers
• Cost: Approximately £8 for 2 years
• Benefits include:
o Discounts at 300+ brands
o Free companion tickets at many venues
o Photo ID card, plus app and digital version
Many businesses honour the card, including supermarkets, restaurants, retail outlets, and attractions such as days out.
While not all places accept the card, you can find full details and participating locations by visiting: www.carerscarduk.co.uk
Additionally, some local councils offer similar carers cards, so it’s well worth enquiring with your local authority.

Colin never thought he would travel again, but with the support of a Holiday Care Companion, he and his wheelchair made the incredible journey to New Zealand.

Mary had a different but equally special reason to travel. With the support of one of our Companions, she was able to go to France to attend her granddaughter’s wedding – a family moment she did not want to miss.
At Able Community Care, we believe that needing care or support should not mean giving up the joy of travelling. That is why we launched our Holiday Care Companion service in 2016, helping people enjoy holidays both in the UK and internationally.

Established in 1980, Able Community Care has many years of experience providing live-in care throughout the UK, and our carers have supported clients on many memorable journeys around the world.

Whether you are planning a relaxing break, visiting family, or travelling further afield, our Holiday Care Companions can provide the support and reassurance you need to travel with confidence.
To find out more about our Holiday Care Companion service, please contact Karen Robinson on 01603 281913 or email info@ablecommunitycare.com and we will happily send you our information brochure.

Wherever you would like to go, we can help make it possible.

As the island communities grow older, many families face an important question: how to ensure loved ones receive the support they need while continuing to live safely and happily at home. For island residents, accessing consistent care can be challenging—but the right support can make all the difference.
We specialise in providing professional live-in care to rural and remote communities, including the islands. Our carefully selected carers live in the home, offering round-the-clock support, companionship, and personalised care tailored to each individual’s needs. From help with daily routines to more complex care requirements, our goal is to help people maintain independence, dignity, and comfort in familiar surroundings.
We manage the logistics of placing experienced carers in remote locations, ensuring reliable support for families who may not live nearby. With compassionate care and a deep understanding of island life, we help residents continue enjoying the homes and communities they love.
Call us today to discuss how we can support your loved one. Let us bring peace of mind to your family and personalised care to those who matter most.

As a care provider throughout the UK for the last 46 years, in a care sector which is more difficult than I have known, the following testimonial arrived with us yesterday and gave validation to what we try to achieve daily for our clients and their families:

Daughter of our Client March 2026
For the past four years our lovely Able carers have provided truly exceptional care for my 92 year old father in his own home. They are experienced, trustworthy, patient and consistently compassionate in everything they do. Their person-centred approach ensures that his individual needs are always understood and met, while promoting his comfort and well-being every single day. They treat him with genuine respect as if he was part of their family.
As a family, we are deeply grateful for the reassurance and outstanding support they continue to provide.

The Friday Care Tip – February 27th 2026
We regularly come across alarming scams, and this week we encountered the same one twice — so it felt important to share.
This particular fraud targets passengers in taxis and people making charitable donations on the street. It works like this: when you pay by debit or credit card, the driver or fundraiser tells you the transaction has failed. On the second attempt, they discreetly cover the amount field on the card reader and ask you to enter your PIN again — but the amount being charged is very different from what you agreed to pay.
Because the transaction appears routine, you may not realise anything is wrong until your bank statement arrives or you receive an instant payment notification.
If this happens to you in the UK, your bank may offer a refund — but this is not guaranteed, particularly where a PIN was entered voluntarily.

Live-in care is a genuine alternative to moving into a residential care home. It allows people to remain in the comfort of the home they love, surrounded by familiar memories and routines.
If you have a relative, a friend, or know someone who wants to stay independent at home, tell them about live-in care support. Give them the power to choose where and how they live.
