​Where to start

Why not ask the individual you care for what kind of products and brands they would usually purchase? Where would they shop? 

If you're caring for the person in their own home, you should be able to see their current items and continue to buy these brands.

If a person moves into your care home, find out if their veg*n lifestyle impacts on their choice of toiletries, bedding or cleaning products. This ensures that you're providing excellent person-centred care.
