Carers

Carers are individuals—often family members, friends, or professionals—who provide ongoing support to someone who needs help due to illness, disability, or aging. Their role may include assisting with daily activities like dressing, bathing, or meal preparation, managing medications, and offering emotional support. Carers help maintain the independence and well-being of those they support, often balancing these responsibilities alongside their own lives. Their efforts are vital in ensuring quality of life and can be paid or unpaid, formal or informal, depending on the situation.
