Carers Assessment
Can't find what you're looking for?
Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also be stressful, and you may find it difficult to balance caring with your personal life, work, family and looking after your own health.
If you care for someone for a substantial amount of time on a regular basis, you can ask for a carer’s assessment from Adult Social Care.
The assessment is not a test, it is a consultation to find out what you as a carer might want or need assistance with, and to let you know what help is available to you. This covers both direct support with caring, and with your individual wellbeing as a carer.
