Support for family caregivers in Etten-Leur
More and more people, young and old, are caring for someone close to them for an extended period of time. This may involve caring for a parent, partner, child, friend or neighbor who is ill, has a disability or is recovering from an illness. We call this form of help informal care.
Informal care is provided voluntarily, but often combined with work, studies, a family of one's own and social obligations. This demands a lot from an informal caregiver and can lead to overburdening. Therefore, it is important to seek timely support.
