Being an adult child looking after an ageing parent or family member who needs significant support is not only worrying and tiring, it also takes time. And on a farm, time is at a premium, and there are many jobs that simply cannot be put off.
Of course, caring for a loved one is also hugely rewarding, but carers need kindness and practical help too, and there are organisations available that can offer this and more.
Carents is an online hub for those caring for elderly parents. They offer lots of valuable advice, financial support and legal guidance. There are free downloadable guides, tips on useful products, and an online Carenting Community for those who wish to connect with others in their situation.
