PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING – your resident is depending on you reading these directions carefully as missed information here may mean the resident assigned to you does not receive a carepack at Christmas.

Once this process is complete – your resident details will be emailed to you – PLEASE immediately search for this email and SAVE it or write it down. The information is emailed to you but may end up in SPAM/JUNK where it will auto-delete. We cannot retrieve lost emails so take extra vigilance at the time of ordering to avoid this issue and keep your resident’s information safe. 

Directions to send a carepack to a resident/s in a nursing home or care home.

1. Choose how many residents you would like to send a carepack to for Christmas (up to a maximum of 6 can be ordered at a time – you may reorder for more than 6)
2. Complete the shopping cart process to be issued the resident details – there is no cost for using this service.
3. Enter your email address correctly – please verify and re-verify that your email address has no errors.
4. Check your email immediately – WRITE DOWN the gender (or name if supplied) and address/es you are assigned as they appear – this information CANNOT be retrieved at a later time. Please do not write any notes provided on the envelope.

6. Buy your own gifts to put in your carepack (ideas in FAQ). Include a card or letter, you may include your own contact details.
7. Package your carepack, write FREEPOST where a stamp should go and post free (<1kg) at your local An Post office. You may also hand-deliver to the care home reception. You will not meet the resident.
