Are you a Carer?
Do you care for someone who is ill, disabled, frail has substance misuse or mental health problems and needs your help and support with daily living? If you do, then you are a carer.
There are a number of services in Powys to help and support the estimated 14,000 carers who live in Powys.
Being a carer can bring rewards, but becoming a carer can turn your life upside down.
Carers play a crucial role in society and have the right to:
- An assessment of your own needs
- Information and advice on what services maybe available to you and the person you care for
- Help and support to assist you in your caring role
How can you get help to look after the person you care for?
