When to contact Adult Social Care

In Adult Social Care, our aim is for residents to be safe and live a healthy and independent life in their home.

We know that some people need some support to achieve this. 

You may need support if:

  • you provide unpaid care for a friend or relative
  • you have a hearing or visual impairment that affects day to day living
  • you have a learning disability
  • you have a physical disability

You might want some support with things like:

  • connecting to what’s going on in your local community
  • developing or maintaining relationships with friends and family
  • carrying out everyday tasks such as personal care, meal preparation
  • if you are worried about yourself or someone else

If any of the above sound like you, please get in touch using the contact details above.

For Adult Social Care to provide you with longer term support, we will have to do an assessment of your situation and determine your eligibility for on–going support.  This is part of a Local Authority’s duty under the Care Act 2014.  Once you have been assessed as being eligible for longer term support, we will work with you and your network to co-produce a support plan that enables you to live in a way that matters to you.  

Local authorities can provide some time-limited care services for free, such as following a hospital discharge. There are other care services, such as longer-term support needs that are not free for everyone.  A financial assessment will be required to work out whether you need to pay for some of the cost.
