Get social care support

If you're finding it difficult to look after yourself and manage everyday tasks, contact us to discuss your care and support needs. 

We'll check:

  • if you need care and support
  • the level of care and support you need
  • how these could be met
  • your family and social support networks

We might arrange for you to have a care assessment. This is when a social worker or occupational therapist visits you to discuss your care and support needs further. They then advise you on the next steps.

If you’re assessed as needing social care and support, we'll agree a care and support plan with you. 

The plan includes:

  • how your support will be provided
  • how much it costs
  • who will be paying for it
