Carers
A carer is anyone who regularly looks after someone who is too
ill, disabled, or frail to manage alone. The council can carry out
an assessment of the needs of the person that a carer is looking
after. It can provide practical support through direct services
such as care at home, day services, or direct payments for support
services.
