For carers

Carers can be of any age, who provide unpaid care and support to family members or friends with a disability, mental illness, chronic condition, terminal illness, drug issue or who are frail aged.

The stress placed on a person with incontinence, and those who are caring for them, cannot be underestimated.

Respite care is the major service type that specifically supports carers, yet few carers report that they have used these services.
