A carer is someone who cares for a family member, friend, or neighbour who could not manage without their support.
A carer may not always live with the person they care for, but their help can often be essential in enabling that person to go on living independently. Whether they require care because of mental illness, disability, health, age, or substance misuse problems.
Caring for someone covers lots of different things, like helping with their washing, dressing, or eating, taking them to regular appointments, or offering emotional support.
Caring for someone who relies on you can impact on your health, finances and quality of life and may become more stressful over time.
Bury Carers' Hub aims to assist all adult carers who support someone 18+ living in Bury. It aims to give carers access to information, advice and a range of support services.
The Bury Carers' Hub is delivered by n-compass. This support service is designed to help carers:
- continue in their caring role, for as long as they choose
- to reduce the impact that a caring role can have on their own health and wellbeing.
