Care and carers

older lady  

West Lothian has over 18,000 carers, although some do not see themselves as one. If you look after someone who is ill, frail, disabled, or unable to cope, then you are a carer and have a right to a carer's assessment. If you are looking for further information, there are a number of sources for help and advice available on the web - please check the links to the right of this page.
