Social care support for carers

If you provide unpaid support to help an adult live at home you are a carer.

Support from Nottinghamshire County Council

There is a range of support available to carers from Nottinghamshire County Council and the NHS. For many services you will need to have a carer's assessment or the person you care for will need a community care assessment.
Use the links below to find out more about the support available to carers. You can also download the 'Do you look after someone? factsheet [PDF 212KB] which also describes the services available.

See our young carers pages for the support we provide to children and young people under the age of 25 who care for others.
