How we can support you
It is essential that, as a carer, you get sufficient support from us to help you to continue in your caring role and we will work closely with you in the development of a range of information. This includes:
- Information about the diagnosis of the person you care for and how to manage this
- Involvement in the way care is planned and the process for when people move on from HPFT services
- Carer Assessment which gives access to staff who can talk to you about your needs as a carer (this is not an assessment of your ability)
- Carer Contingency Plan which helps you plan what you would like to happen should you be unable to provide care
