A Carer is a person who provides unpaid help on a regular basis
to a relative, neighbour or friend who is unable to manage at home
due to sickness, age or disability. These web pages will inform you
of any assistance that is available through Neath Port Talbot
County Borough Council and will also pinpoint other organisations
that will be able to help.
Carers can be…
- Adults or children
- Looking after a child with special needs or an adult
- Caring for someone elderly and frail or
Caring for someone with a physical disability or
Caring for someone with learning disabilities or
Caring for someone with mental health problems
- Caring alone or sharing the task with others
- Sharing a home with the person you care for or living somewhere
else.
Carers may help with things like dressing or bathing, as well as
giving all kinds of practical and emotional support.
