Who are Family Carers
Family Carers are usually immediate relatives, who provide very high levels of care, at home, for children and adults with severe disabilities, frail older people and people who are terminally ill.
Carers need to be constantly available due to the high levels of social and health care needed at home, and in case of emergency. The Carer’s life centres on the needs of the person requiring care.
Many Carers are in poor health arising from the physical, social and emotional affects of providing long-term high-level care, without basic supports.
