Middle aged daughter and her elderly mother

We partnered with Mumsnet to poll people with caring responsibilities and found that nine in 10 (92%) felt that choosing care for a loved one is ‘very’ or ‘quite’ stressful – ranking it higher than planning a wedding, selling or buying a home, and getting divorced.

More than half (52%) of those polled also felt that they didn't have enough information to make decisions about their loved one’s care.
