In the future, most people's lives will include at least one episode of caring. In the UK there are Over 1.5 million people aged 60+ providing unpaid care and over 8,000 carers are aged 90+, 4,000 of these very aged carers provide 50 or more hours care each week

Older carers are…

Often in poor health themselves
Usually living with a partner, especially male carers
Sometimes still in paid work
