The impact of providing unpaid care at home (Phase 2)
Our Phase 2 survey report of Carers’ experiences provides valuable insight into the impact that caring for someone for more than 20 hours a week can have on Carers’ lives.
We heard from more than 200 Carers who live in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay who shared their experiences with us, following on from an earlier report published in November 2022. We also conducted a guided conversation with 17 individual Carers to help us understand in more detail how a Carer’s role was impacting on their everyday life and their emotional wellbeing.

HWDPT Unpaid Carers Report #2
"Thank you to Healthwatch for their work... it provides a clear picture of the issues for Carers across the whole of Devon, reinforcing the National Carers Survey data, Carers UK State of Caring Survey and local Carers’ Strategy surveys for Plymouth and Devon... Some of these are issues for Carers’ Services / Commissioners of Carers’ Services, and each area will build the findings of this report into local Carer Support." Response from the Devon wide Carers Leads Development Group
