This is an indispensable guide for anyone who finds themselves in a caring role - whether shopping for a housebound neighbour, or giving up work to care full-time for a disabled child or confused parent. It covers: what carers need to know to do the job; getting help from professional agencies; guidance on everyday practicalities; and financial and employment rights. It also helps carers care for themselves, by looking at the difficult feelings that go hand in hand with caring, how relationships are affected, and what to do when caring comes to an end.
