Carers Support

Age UK Hertfordshire offers support to people living in the Dacorum Borough who give unpaid care to a relative, neighbour or friend, where one of them is over 50. If you spend time caring for someone you may be feeling tired, worried, alone or frustrated and in need of some friendly, non-judgmental, practical and emotional support. Age UK Hertfordshire is here to help you take control of your life and your situation so you can make decisions that are right for you. The service can: provide accurate information and guidance on a range of issues from sitting services and respite care to Adult Care Service assessments for you and the person you care for; help you to secure your financial entitlements; inform you about the services available to help carers and how to access them; provide information about leisure and social activities; provide regular emotional support phone calls.
