Millions of adults in the UK are currently caring for elderly relatives whilst also trying to maintain a career. New findings from the 2025 Carents in the Workplace Report have highlighted the extent of these pressures and the true cost of silence:
- 71% reported having to reduce hours, change roles, or leave work altogether.
- Over one-third have revised retirement plans due to financial or emotional strain.
These changes affect families' finances, prospects, and plans for the future. However, this doesn’t need to be the case.
There is now a wide range of support available from carers just popping in to visit your loved ones with outreach and home care options, to specialist and live-in care for once your elderly relative requires more consistent support.🤗
The wide range of care options available today means that carents can get the support they need, with care tailored to suit individual needs and circumstances.🫂
