With good family support - but when they are not able to help, the scheme is very understanding and supportive. With the assistance of the care co-ordinators, I can usually juggle my hours to work in the evening. This means that both CAS and myself are happy. I don't lose anything financially and they gain a carer to work in the evenings.

Charlotte has worked for CAS since 1997 and cares for C three days a week and thoroughly enjoys working with her: "C is a fun loving person who shows great enthusiasm to enjoy life despite her restrictions, I enjoy working with her as she is an inspiration to us all"
