Charging ventilators, specialised food and driving to hospital appointments are just some of the additional costs for households with care needs that are being exacerbated by the cost of living crisis. Then add to that the shortage of carers and personal assistants that’s being experienced across the country just now.

Kim and Eileen speak with three people experiencing care in different ways. Blogger Claire D’All is the Dundee Ambassador for accessibility review website Euan’s Guide. She is seeing massive energy bills at the moment due to equipment required in her home. Shubhanna Hussain-Ahmed from the Coalition of Carers in Scotland is an unpaid carer for several of her family, and Maureen Ayre is the Senior Care and at Turning Lives Around, a care company based in Dundee – she’s been struggling to recruit new workers.
