If you care for an elderly parent we have a special name for you - Carent.
We can offer information, advice and support on our website Carents Room.
Carents is the UK’s national organisation dedicated to supporting adult children who care for their ageing parents. This hidden group - known as carents (pronounced care-nts) - represents 57% of all carers in the UK, yet remains largely unrecognised by the current system.
The Carents Room is a free, award-winning digital platform and online community available 24/7.
