We recognise that caring for someone can be very rewarding. It can also be very stressful and lonely, and can have a significant impact on your emotional and physical health and your financial wellbeing.
Many carers, whatever their age, reach a point at which they need help. But asking for help is hard. Whatever your situation, just get in touch with us and find out how we can help.
What we offer
We offer a range of support and advice to help maintain your own wellbeing whilst in your caring role. We can help you identify the impact of your caring responsibilities on your life and help find potential solutions.
We can help to ensure that you receive all the help and support that you are entitled to, which can include referrals for a comprehensive carers assessment with North Somerset Council or a Care Assessment for the person you care for.
