Devon Carers
Devon Carers is a FREE service by Westbank providing support to unpaid carers. This service is commissioned by Devon County Council and NHS Devon. If you provide unpaid support for an adult living in Devon (excluding Plymouth and Torbay) who needs help because they are ill, frail, disabled or have a mental health or addiction problem, then you can access free support in your caring role. We treat each carer as an individual, taking time to find out what’s important to them, and work out together how we can support them in their caring role.
Our services include:
- our website
- a helpline and webchat facility
- carer skills workshops,
- peer support groups,
- hospital services,
- carer assessments,
- “Our Time for You” sitting service.
- carers passport.
- quarterly magazine.
and much more.
We can provide versions of any of our information in other languages if required.
If you would like to access any of our services, or if you are struggling with your caring role and would like to discuss more support, please contact us.
