- Personal care (dressing, washing, helping with toilet needs)
- Managing the family budget (collecting benefits and prescriptions)
- Managing medication
- Looking after younger siblings
- Helping someone communicate
And / or have limited access to activities outside the family home due to the needs of the family member they are caring for.
