If you are caring for someone else aged 18 or over on a regular basis, without being paid for it, you can request a carer’s assessment.

If you do not meet the eligibility criteria for care and support or means-tested support you are a self-funder. This means that you are responsible for paying the full cost of your care.

Under the Care Act 2014, assessments are for people over the age of 18 requiring help to live in the best way possible.

At some point in your life, you may need help from adult social care. This could be due to your own needs or those of a friend or family member. Any adult over 18 can request support.

Abuse can be stopped and even prevented, but this can only happen if someone knows about it.
