Millions of people don’t know they’re a carer – are you?
If you are, you could get practical and emotional support that could really take the weight of your shoulders. You may be looking after someone who’s ill, disabled or has health/ substance abuse problems. You might be doing their laundry, feeding them, medicating, or helping in the bathroom, all unpaid. Before you can get support, you’ll need a carer’s assessment.
Contact London Borough of Hounslow for an assessment today.
Telephone 020 8583 3100, or email for an assessment here.
If you are a carer, there’s plenty of support available for you from London borough of Hounslow and organisations like Hestia – Hounslow LIFE.
