A caretaker is someone who provides unpaid assistance to a family member or friend who is unable to function without their help due to disease, disability, mental health issues, or addiction. Many people do not consider themselves to be caregivers for their families. It takes an average of two years for someone to recognise themselves as a caregiver. Practical activities such as cleaning the house, doing laundry, ironing, paying bills, making meals, and shopping are among the responsibilities of a caregiver. Dressing, cleaning, lifting, providing medicine or collecting prescriptions, and attending doctor's visits are all examples of personal care. Caregivers have the right to get help from their local authority under the Care Act if they have qualifying needs. A carer's evaluation can help you acquire this help. You have a legal right to have your caring needs assessed if you care for someone. A caregiver's assessment should take into account all of your requirements.
