Nicole Banerji is a Chartered Psychologist who works with organisations to help them get the best out of their people. In 2006, when her Dad had a stroke, Nicole was just a daughter, trying to do the best she could to help him get joy from life, despite his newly found disabilities.
Nicole Banerji's evocative account of her own caring experiences has it all; from the stark realities of a care system struggling to cope with the challenges of an ageing society to the emotions of seeing someone you love suffer. Most importantly of all it provides practical advice to help families through the complexities of the care system and the emotional `rollercoaster' of being an adult carer. `The Accidental Carer' is a must for the babyboomer generation who all too often feel lonely and isolated as they battle with this life changing experience. -- Ivan Lewis. MP for Bury South. Minister for Care Services 2006 - 2008 One of the most difficult things to get hold of when you suddenly become a carer... is information - this book fills some of those gaps -- Anne McGuire MP, Parliamentary Champion for Carers, Minister for Disabled People 2007-2008
