As a carer, have you faced an emergency in your own circumstances which meant that you were unable (temporarily) to continue your caring role and as a result, the person you care for was admitted to hospital or a care home because there were no other alternatives? 

Maybe you became unwell or had an accident.  Maybe you were faced with other unexpected family or work responsibilities.  Was there anyone you were able to call on in a hurry?  Had you made plans in advance for an emergency?  Are you concerned about this situation?
Carers of East Lothian have secured funding from the Change Fund to look at ways of trying to prevent situations like this becoming a crisis.

Helen Dalley has recently joined us and she will be pleased to hear from you if you have experienced a situation like this.
