We support, inform and speak on behalf of older people in care
The Relatives & Residents Association is the national charity for older people in or needing care and the relatives and friends who help them cope.
We are here to support and inform residents, families and friends to find out all they need to know about care and to help them if things go wrong.
We speak out on behalf of a sector who cannot always speak out for themselves. Our knowledge and experience of the care system means that when we do, our voice is listened to.
Coronavirus Hub
This hub brings together useful information about coping with Coronavirus for older people and the relatives and friends who support them. Find out more here
Our Helpline
We take the time to listen
Our Helpline advisers are experts in the care field and happy to cope with referrals from other advice or befriending lines when more in-depth knowledge is needed.
Coronavirus update: our helpline is busier than normal so it may take us a little longer to answer the phone. If you can’t get through, please leave a message and we will call you back. Thank you for your patience at this challenging time.
Open Monday to Friday 9.30am to 1pm.
