If you look after a relative or friend, who due to physical or mental illness, age related difficulties, disability or addiction, cannot manage without your support, you are a Carer, and our information and support services are for you. (You may not think of yourself as a Carer).

Being a Carer

Being a Carer can be both rewarding and challenging. As a Carer, it’s important to look after your own health and well-being. We are here to support you.

Everyone’s experience as a Carer is different. As an example, you might help someone with:

  • personal things like getting washed, dressed or eating
  • moving about or turning at night
  • medication
  • shopping, laundry or cleaning
  • completing forms
  • managing money

If you would like information and support to guide you through this, please complete our form below and we will be in touch.

Our privacy notice is available here.

Questions for the Carer to answer

Kent and Medway Carers' Emergency Card

As a Carer, you may often worry about what would happen to the person you care for if you suddenly became ill or were involved in an accident. By carrying a Kent and Medway Carer’s Emergency Card, someone close to you can be contacted in those situations so that the person you care for can be supported while you are unavailable. We can send you one of these Emergency cards if you would like one. We can also support you to implement a contingency plan.

Equality information

Carers' Support East Kent wants to meet the aims and commitments set out in our equality policy. This includes not discriminating under the Equality Act 2010, and building an accurate picture of the make-up of the Carers whom we serve. The information you provide will be kept confidential and will be used for monitoring purposes and to help in our understanding of how we may best support you personally.
