When your caring role changes

There may come a time when you can no longer provide the help the person you care for needs, perhaps because your circumstances or health have changed, or perhaps because theirs have. If things have changed, you can ask for an updated care needs assessment for both yourself and for the person you provide care for, to make sure both of you continue to get the support you need. If you are considering whether a care home would be the best way to meet the needs of the person you provide care for, you may have a lot of questions and some conflicting emotions.

Our care guides aim to answer some of the common questions people have about care at home and care homes. You can request free copies of any of our guides by calling our helpline on 0800 12 44 222 or visit www.ageuk.org.uk/ scotland/information-advice/care-and-support.
