Abstract

This is the second part of a two-part paper. In part 1, we considered the definitions and roles of family carers in Europe. In particular, we explored the context of providing care at home, the places of care and death, and the impact of caring on family carers. In part 2, we will consider some of the types of interventions or services that seek to address carers’ support needs, and we will make recommendations for future service provision, research and policy development.
