Who is an Unpaid Carer?

An unpaid carer is anyone who regularly provides care or emotional support to someone who could not manage without their help because of illness, disability, mental health, addiction or age-related conditions.

You may be caring for:

  • A parent
  • Your husband, wife or partner
  • A child with additional needs
  • Another family member
  • A friend or neighbour

Many people don’t recognise themselves as carers, but if you regularly look after someone without being paid, we’re here to support you.

How the Carers Assistance Line Can Help

Caring can be rewarding, but it can also affect your physical health, emotional wellbeing, finances and relationships. Our Carers Assistance Line provides personalised support to help you feel informed, supported and more confident in your caring role.
Our experienced team can provide:

  • Confidential one-to-one support
  • Advice, information and guidance by phone or face-to-face
  • Signposting to Crossroads services and local support organisations
  • Benefits and financial advice
  • Guidance on requesting a Carer’s Assessment

Who Can Access the Service?

Frequently asked questions

Our care at home Dudley service supports people across Dudley, Sandwell and the West Midlands, helping service users remain independent in their own homes. We provide personal care, companionship, medication support, meal preparation, dementia care, respite care and live-in care. Whether you need regular visits or extra assistance at short notice, our team is committed to providing flexible, high-quality care that meets your changing needs.

We provide a wide range of care services that are completely person centred, ensuring every client receives the support that best suits their lifestyle. Our experienced carers and support staff offer everything from personal care and companionship to specialist dementia care, live-in care and palliative care. Our office staff are always available to answer questions, coordinate visits and provide helpful advice, while all the staff work together to deliver outstanding support for our service users and their families.

Yes. While our aim is to help people stay in their own homes for as long as possible, we understand that care needs can change. We can provide information about local care facilities and explain the options available if moving into a care home becomes the right decision. We are here to support families throughout every stage of the care journey and will always go the extra mile to help you make an informed choice.

Treating every client with dignity and respect is at the heart of everything we do. Our carers take time to understand each person’s routines, preferences and goals, supporting both their independence and well being. We believe every interaction should be compassionate, respectful and personalised, helping people live comfortably in the place they know best—their own home.

For many people, yes. Home care enables elderly people to remain in familiar surroundings close to their family, neighbours and community. Whether you are arranging care for your mum, dad or parents, staying at home can often provide greater comfort, independence and reassurance than moving into a care home. Our care is fully managed and designed to adapt as needs change.

Yes. Our home care services include support with outdoor activities such as shopping, attending appointments, visiting friends, going for walks or taking part in local community events. Many people can begin to feel lonely if they spend too much time at home, so our carers also provide friendly company and companionship that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Our home care services provide as much or as little support as you need, from occasional visits to more regular care. Whether you require personal care, medication support, meal preparation or extra assistance around the home, our team is here to help. We understand that asking for support is never too much trouble, and our carers are always happy to adapt care as your needs change.

We know that caring for a loved one can be challenging. Whether you are a son, daughter, daughter of a client, partner or another family member, we provide support through respite care, advice and flexible support. Our experienced team works closely with families to ensure no one feels they are managing alone, giving carers the opportunity to rest while knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

We provide a different type of home care depending on each person’s individual needs. This includes personal care, companionship, dementia care, live-in care, overnight support, palliative care and respite care. Our approach focuses on delivering compassionate, personalised support that is easily accessible, helping every client remain safe, independent and comfortable at home. No matter your circumstances, we are committed to providing the right care when it matters most.
