Need Help With Looking After Someone

You can get a carer’s assessment whether the person you care for is having their needs assessed or not. The kind of help and support you could get includes:

  • Respite care, to give you a break
  • Information on local support groups
  • Help with caring
  • Equipment to help you in your caring role.

You may also be entitled to a ‘personal budget’, which is the amount of money the council has calculated will cover the support needs identified in your assessment.

This can be taken as a ‘direct payment’ and could help you maintain your interests outside of your caring responsibilities – for example, by covering membership of a club or an internet connection.
