When you are busy caring for someone, other tasks like DIY, household maintenance or gardening can feel more challenging. This can negatively affect your mood or cause stress. It’s also possible that your home or garden could become unsafe, if you don’t have the time, energy or money to keep on top of practical household issues.
If you would like more information on the types of support available for carers to deal with tasks around the home, please contact us.
