Do you help to look after a relative, neighbour or friend?
Perhaps you look after your own husband, wife, child or parent if
they are sick or have a disability? You may not think of yourself
as a "carer" but we use this word to describe someone of any age
who looks after another person. This may be in your home, or in
theirs; the person may be a child with disabilities or an
adult.
You may not be the only person who helps to care, but if you
are offering substantial help on a regular basis then you are a
carer.
North Yorkshire County Council website provides
