Support Services for Carers

If you provide regular and substantial care for a partner, friend or relative you are entitled to a carers assessment.

 If someone is being discharged from hospital and you will be caring for them you should ask for a carers assessment from a social worker in the hospital before they leave.

In the community contact:

The Adult Access Team

88 Lampton Road Hounslow TW3 4DW

Tel:  0208 583 3100.

Help for carers can include vouchers to enable carers to take a break from caring, information and advice, training, the provision of respite and practical help at home. The carers emergency card gives peace of mind by making sure that, if an emergency happened, arrangements for alternative planned care can be put in place.

Ask for a Carers Information and Support Pack.
