Adult carers
Carers are people who look after others,
providing care or essential support to people who are unable to do
everything for themselves. Carers may be relatives of the
person they look after or they might be a friend or
neighbour. They may or may not live with them. The
amount of support a carer provides will also vary. Apart
from state benefits, carers will not be paid for the care and
support they provide.
Cumbria County Council provide Adult
carers as part of their Adult
Social Care service.
