How can Furness Carers help?

We provide information on all issues related to the caring role.

We recognise that the responsibilities of being a Carer can change Carers’ lives and affect their health and wellbeing.

Carers can become isolated and may feel very much alone.

Our FREE support services offer:

• A friendly “listening ear”
• Individual support
• Carers Assessments (You are entitled to an assessment of your own needs as a Carer).
• Carers Support Plans
• Carers Emergency Contingency Plan and Card Scheme
• Carers’ groups offering the opportunity to talk to others with similar experiences
• Drop-in facilities where Carers can call in for a “cuppa” and information
• Carers Cafés held throughout Furness.
• Social/leisure activities
• Voluntary sitting services
