Carers
Recognising yourself as a carer is the first step to getting the support you need.
A carer is someone who looks after a family member, partner or
friend who is in need of support, and who is not paid for the care
they provide.
Some people don't think of themselves as carers, but see
what they do as part of life as a partner, husband, wife, son,
daughter or friend.
But recognising your role as a carer may mean you
can claim benefits, access social services and receive
priority support from local health services.
We use the term carer here to refer to all those who
provide unpaid care and support for someone with Parkinson’s.
