Care and carers

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 is plenty of help and advice available on the web - please check the links to the right of this page and also the downloadable documents below.
