Emotional Support|
A Carer is someone who, without payment, provides help and support to a friend, neighbour or relative who could not manage otherwise because of frailty, illness or disability. |
 |
Very often people do not recognise themselves as 'Carers'; they are wives, husbands, sons, daughters, parents, other relatives, friends and neighbours who find themselves in a caring situation, sometimes suddenly, sometimes gradually, and simply get on with what needs to be done.
A Carer does not always live with the person being cared for, but their help may be essential to enable somebody to go on living in their own home.
|
It can be a help to know you are a Carer; it is a way of recognising that you are doing a very important job, which can be demanding physically and emotionally. It may be a help to know your work is recognised by others and there are some benefits and services available to help you in your role. |
