                               Carers                                                       

A carer is someone who looks after a partner, relative or friend who is an older person and has a disbaililty or long term illness.

"Care giving" is undertaken by a wide variety of people of all ages and is often spread over many years. Very often people who carry out this kind of work do so out of affection, a sense of duty and often with a belief that there is no alternative.

Caring for someone you love will not always be easy but you can be helped by the right support services.
