A carer is someone who looks after a partner, relative, neighbour or friend who could not easily manage without some help.
A carer's self assessment is an easier way of requesting services to help you as a carer.
Carer's Self Assessment Form
A carer's self assessment is an easier way of requesting services to help you as a carer.
There are many services that may help you:
- home care staff can help with household tasks and personal care
- bath seats, rails or hoists can be provided
- respite services can give you a break from caring
- cooked meals that can be delivered
- day centres
- advice on welfare benefits
- a range of other services offered by the Renfrewshire Carers' Centre
If you complete the Carer's Self Assessment form it will let us know some of your needs as a carer and the services that might help. Some services can be subject to charges and you will be advised of these before any service is arranged.
If you need help completing the form you can contact the Renfrewshire Carers' Centre on 0141 887 3643.
Please use the online form to apply for services or telephone 0141 842 5118 and a form will be sent to you. After we receive the form a member of staff will contact you within 28 days.
