Social workers will help you get the services you need, such as counselling or support. If your needs are greater, you will be put in touch with Care Managers, who will assess your needs and put together a care plan which meets those needs. Social workers will help you to continue to live in your own home for as long as you can. When this is no longer possible, they will help you to find, and move to, the best possible alternative accommodation and care. If you have lost your sight or your eyesight is very poor we offer advice and counselling.
Training is available in everyday living skills and in using special equipment.
We can also help you learn new skills. If you are deaf or hard of hearing you can have a similar service. Resource Centres for people who have lost their sight or are partially sighted, and for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, are open to anyone who needs their help and advice. Social activities are also provided. Most people would like to continue to live in their own home for as long as possible.
