Unpaid carers
Many people that we work with live at home with family members or friends who help care for them.
We work with people and their carers when we complete assessments and develop care plans.
We look at what support people need to live their lives, and this can include support for their carers.
A carer’s assessment can work out what support you may need in your caring role.
There are different ways you can get a carers assessment:
You can complete a carer’s assessment online on Cardiff Council’s website.
You can contact Independent Living Services to arrange a carer’s assessment.
