Supporting Those Who Care for their Elderly Loved Ones

At Carents, we are dedicated to supporting the millions of people who care for their elderly parents.

We believe that no one should have to navigate ‘the system’ alone. Our mission is to provide practical guidance, emotional support, and a strong community to help carents and their loved ones feel empowered, valued, and heard.

About Carents

Empowering Carents, Transforming Ageing

Caring for an elderly parent can be rewarding but also be confusing or feel overwhelming. Many mid-life adults find themselves juggling responsibilities without the right support, recognition, or resources.

Carents® are the first organisation dedicated to supporting, empowering, and celebrating carents—the adult children caring for their elderly parents.

Through expert knowledge, community, and advocacy, our mission is to transforming ageing by making carenting a healthier, happier, and more engaged experience.

What is Carents?

Carents is a one stop shop for those navigating the realities of ageing and care.

We provide:

Trusted information – Expert-led, independent, practical guidance on care, health, legal, safety, and financial matters.
Support & connection – A thriving online community where carents can share experiences and advice.
Advocacy & innovation – Raising awareness of carents' vital role and inspiring business to develop better products and services for ageing well.

Founded in 2020 by Dr Jackie Gray, a dually qualified GP (retired) and Consultant in Public Health Medicine, with over 30 years of experience. Carents was born from both professional expertise and lived experience to help ensure that those caring for an ageing relative would no longer feel alone, lost or undervalued.
