We are WeMa – Wellness Management
“We really wanted to bring our members meaningful support other than the usual discount cards. Over 70% of foster carers are 50yrs+ and I know so many with older parents they are caring for.
I’ve seen the struggle they go through trying to balance their commitments as foster carers and caring for elderly relatives or adult relatives in need of care.
We are thrilled with this new strategic partnership with the experts at WeMa to help at this difficult time, to at least relieve some of the stress and anxiety. What’s even better, like all things FosterWiki it is entirely free of charge* for our FosterWiki members.”
Sarah Anderson, Founder, FosterWiki
Introduction to WeMa
At FosterWiki we wanted to bring our members really meaningful support and offers. Many of our team have experienced the complex and time-consuming situation of trying to find care for a parent or loved one, this can be difficult at the best of times, but when you are a foster carer flat out 24/7 365 days a year, it’s very hard in what can be a frustrating and complicated process.
The number of foster carers who are also involved in the care of elderly relatives or other adult family members in the UK is now rising as over 70% of UK foster carers are in their 50s, 60s and 70s.
This can have a significant effect on emotional and mental health when foster carers are already in highly demanding roles; foster carers cannot ‘reduce their hours’ in any way so the stress can be acute.
So, we are pleased to Partner with WeMa and offer you their Care Concierge service completely free of charge!*
WeMa provides help for those who find themselves in this challenging situation by connecting them to professional facilities for care and support.
