Not many of us think of ourselves as carers.
A carer can be a husband, wife, mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister or friend who is providing unpaid support to someone to enable them to live at home.
Becoming a carer may happen gradually over a period of time, perhaps if you are caring for someone with a developing dementia.
It can also occur as a more sudden change in circumstances such as a hospital admission following a stroke. This can quickly find you having new caring responsibilities.
Are you looking for help and support and aren’t sure where to go?
