We know that life can be difficult at times, perhaps you are suffering from a long-term illness or have experienced the loss of a loved one. You can be safe in the knowledge that Foresters Care is here to support you through these hard times.

For our Foresters Care service, we’ve partnered with RedArc, whose registered nurses provide tailored help to our members by telephone. What’s more, you’ll only speak to the same nurse throughout, providing important continuity.

1. Help with a serious illness

We know that it can be very daunting when you’re diagnosed with a serious illness. It might feel like your life has been turned upside down, but a RedArc nurse can provide long-term advice and emotional support to help you through it. They can also help you make the most of services offered by the NHS, specialist charities and social services.

2. Mental Health Support

If you’re struggling with your mental health, a RedArc nurse can help. RedArc have specialist mental health nurses that can provide long-term support, therapy and counselling.

3. Bereavement Support

Losing a loved one can be devastating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. RedArc nurses provide bereavement support and can help you through this difficult time, even if you just need someone to talk to.

4. Second Medical Opinion

Your RedArc nurse can provide reassurance by arranging a second medical opinion so you can get the right diagnosis and treatment. Your nurse can arrange a face-to-face appointment with a specialist consultant in the UK.

5. Support for Carers

Looking after someone who is elderly or suffering from illness can be very difficult and can have an impact on your own wellbeing. A RedArc nurse can provide emotional and practical support to cope with caring responsibilities if you need it.

6. Loneliness

Anyone can experience loneliness at any age or point in time, but support is available. If you need to speak to someone, a RedArc nurse is here to listen.
