Cornwall Carers Service
Adult Carers
Adult carers are supported to self-manage, via an Adviceline where there is enhanced support when you need it.
There is a dedicated team available to answer Carers’ calls and queries as well as a text-to-chat option. To speak direct to the Advice Line team call: 01736 756655.
Carer’s Coaches and Community Support available to help carers to connect with their communities and to improve their wellbeing.
Formal care and support via a Carers Needs Assessment and Support Plan to help carers improve wellbeing and manage their role. We also offer information, advice, and guidance before hospital admission and assist with successful discharges for carers and those they care for.
