Adult Carers
The service provides a single point of access for people who are looking after someone else. The universal all age carer wellbeing service provides a range of free support, information advice and guidance tailored to carers unique needs. Carers have told us they feel better supported by using a holistic approach enabling them to continue caring role for as long as they choose. By registering (free) you will have access to a wide range of resources and information, be kept up to date with the latest changes in social care and have access to groups and activities we run as part of a large network of Carers in Warwickshire. We offer a blend of services, face to face and digital to ensure you get the support of your choice.

Carer Assessment
If you are looking after someone you have a right to a Carers Assessment if you are over 18 years old and look after another adult who is elderly, ill or disabled, you don’t have to live with them. You are entitled to a Carers Assessment regardless of how much time or type of care you provide or your finances. Our experienced staff will give you the opportunity to explore your physical and emotional needs as an unpaid carer, what services or support you may need to help you. They are free of charge and designed to support you. They can be completed at your home, over the phone or at a place of your choice. Carers Assessments are an opportunity to share your journey in your own words and access the support you need.
