North East carer support organisations
Following a stroke people may experience a range of problems including difficulties with mobility, communication and independence.
Family and friends who become carers will be facing mental and emotional changes, which can be difficult to deal with, such as feelings of frustration and grief, and concerns about reduction of income and changes in lifestyle.
