Everyday life of an informal carer

Help for an informal carer and care recipient’s everyday lives

Where can I get support or training for care tasks? Can we get aids for my loved one to use at home?

Personal well-being of the carer

Where can I find other carers? Can I have days off from care work? Who can I get help from with my own coping?

Changes in the situation of informal carer or care recipient

What do I do if my loved one's health deteriorates? How will changes affect my informal care allowance? Can we move?
