If you or a loved one needs support with everyday tasks, social may be what you need. Social care includes someone providing practical support or promoting support such as talking you through carrying out a task.
For those who need extra help to manage their lives and be independent, including
- older people
- people with a disability or long-term illness
- people with mental health problems
- those who look after someone or are carers
Adult Social Care includes:
- Proving information and advice
- assessment of your needs
- provision of services or allocation of funds to enable you to purchase your own care and support
- residential care
- home care
- personal assistants
- day services
- the provision of aids and adaptations
Social care provides support to live your life, if you need support with everyday tasks due to having a health condition or illness.
If you need support with the following you may need social care support
- looking after yourself
- your home
- your finances
- being able to socialise
- being able to work or volunteer
You may only need support for a short while or maybe, you need something a little more long-term. We can provide support in both situations but will never make long-term plans for someone when their life is in crisis. It’s always better to address that need first before considering where we go from there.
