Carers don’t fit a mould; they come from all walks of life, all cultures and all religions. Some are just 10 years old while others are nearing 90. They may be spouses, parents, sons or daughters, siblings, friends, nieces or nephews or neighbours.
It is important for carers to keep in touch with the services, activities and people in their neighbourhood.
Programs for carers
