12.01.2022 WE'RE all feeling a little overwhelmed right now. During this era of COVID-19, many of us are trying to sort through confusing information, to work out the best fit for our individual circumstances. It's difficult to feel calm and in control.

Older people value independent living, but when they need support, they get placed on a long waiting list.
