Are you overwhelmed by the decisions you’re facing as a Carer? Here are a few useful tips for you to consider when making big decisions.
As adults, we all have the right to make our own decisions. The law assumes that we can all do so unless there is good reason and evidence to suggest otherwise.
Circumstances can change, and this is especially the case when you are caring for someone. The health and support needs of the person you care for may change with time. Decisions around living arrangements may need to be made. If the demands of care increases with time, it may be better for the person you care for to move into residential care. It is a good idea to discuss the pros and cons of care options with the person you care for. This will help with the decision making process.
If you need to consider end-of-life care, you may need to consider guardianship and powers of attorney, creating a will and legal steps after death. If you need assistance in making financial decisions, talk to someone who is independent such as a financial adviser or solicitor.
