Care services

We provide a range of services for adults to enable them to live safely and independently in their own homes for as long as possible.

Which services you are eligible for will be decided by a care manager or social worker from the council who will talk to you and, possibly, with your agreement, your family and your GP.

Getting an assessment

If you think you can benefit from one or more of our services, you can seek an assessment to see if you are eligible.

Care charges

Depending on your financial circumstances, you may be expected to contribute towards the cost of your care.

Direct payments

Direct payments are cash payments made instead of social services to individuals who have been assessed as needing services.

Buying your own care services

We can provide you with contact numbers of accredited agencies who can provide personal and domestic help.
