We explore the quality of life of older carers (aged 65 and above) and the people they support, as well as the role of services in promoting their quality of life, both on an individual and on a dyadic level. We collected data in England and, using a framework analysis, identify three themes that were shared by 28 carers and 11 individuals with support needs: (1) experience of support within and outside of the dyad; (2) dilemmas related to receiving social care services; and (3) the impact of COVID-19. This study suggests how to potentially improve their experience of support across different areas of their lives
