At Carents, we’ve always believed that adult children caring for elderly parents deserve to be heard, seen, and supported. That’s why we launched focus groups ato hear directly from you. Carents across the UK opened up about the emotional, practical and invisible toll of caring.
Mealtimes can become more challenging with age, but good nutrition is essential for health and wellbeing. This guide explores gentle ways to support your parent’s diet and daily eating habits.
We asked our Carents Lounge community if they’d had a carer’s assessment. The results reveal how few carers are accessing support they’re entitled to. In this article, we break down the poll findings, share your stories and provide guidance to help you understand and apply for a carer’s assessment through your local council.
