Cover of The First 30 Days booklet

The First 30 Days

For families whose relative is moving into your home: moving day, settling in, visits, who to ask and care reviews.

What’s inside
  • Moving day: what to bring, and what to expect
  • Settling in, visits and days out
  • Who to ask about what, and how to raise a concern
  • Care reviews, and the questions worth asking
  • A welcome page from your home, with your manager’s note and key numbers

When to give it: at open days and first visits, as a take-home that shows families how you care, or at the pre-admission visit once a place is agreed.

  • The first weeks: who to tell, money and belongings
  • The months ahead: the will and estate, benefits, and looking after yourself
  • Pages to write in, so nothing gets missed
  • A page from your home: belongings, and who to call

Tip: a wide (landscape) logo works best, ideally a PNG with a transparent background. Any shape will fit, though. Your logo is previewed in your browser and is not sent to us. Final placement is confirmed on your proof before printing.

How it works

  1. A short, friendly chat about your families and your team.
  2. Send us your logo. We send you a proof to check and approve.
  3. We print and deliver your booklets, usually within two weeks of you approving the proof.
