Personal Care
Personal care is an essential component of all Sanctuary programmes. Along with the therapeutic modalities working together to improve your health, personal carers are key elements of your treatment team, ensuring you are accompanied at all times during the intensive stages of your treatment.
Carers usually stay overnight, attending to your well-being and domestic needs. In addition to helping serve meals, monitoring your medication and attending to your laundry, they will also accompany you to external appointments or outings.
Carers are chosen for their experience, compassion and interpersonal skills. They provide companionship, sympathetic care and a friendly presence to ensure your home environment is comfortable and welcoming.
At The Sanctuary, we try to match you with appropriate carers. For example, if you are seeking treatment for substance abuse, we provide you with carers who have had similar histories but have successfully overcome their addictions. If you are a young person in treatment, we will match you with carers closer to your age. Carers are also role models who provide gentle mirroring to help you understand and identify with your strengths.
