Sometimes, caring can be lonely and isolating. You may not want to ‘burden’ friends and family and consequently keep your feelings to yourself. Many carers feel guilty if they have negative thoughts or lose patience, but this is all natural and part of caring. Sometimes it can help to talk to people who are not emotionally involved with the situation and other carers who may share similar experiences, thoughts and feelings.
You must look after your health, physical and emotional, and build time for yourself.
Over time your caring role will change and may come to an end.
We offer a range of services and information, to help support you in your caring role and improve your wellbeing.
Care homes offer permanent and temporary stays (respite care) in single or shared rooms with a team of qualified staff on-site to provide care and support.
Your feedback helps us improve our services for all.
