Support for Adult and Parent Carers
If you decide to seek help from Carer Support West Cumbria, you will be given individual support from one of our trained Carers Support Workers.
Your support worker will contact you to arrange to complete a Carers Assessment. All Carers in the UK, aged 18+, are entitled to an Assessment of their own needs; separate from the needs of those that they care for.
​​​​
The Carers Assessment aims to identify areas where greater support can be given to you as a Carer, such as:
-
Information on all aspects of your caring role
-
One-to-one support - sometimes, all you need is a friendly listening ear
-
Contingency Planning (Adult Carers Only)
-
Social Events and Activities
-
Referral to other support services e.g. occupational therapist or social care
​​​
If you would like more information or to register with us as a carer, please contact us.
