You may need longer term help due to an accident or illness, or no longer be able to look after yourself very well. We also provide help for carers of older people. We offer a range of services to people in need. Some of these services will help you to continue to live at home if this is what you want. You may want to move to sheltered housing - we can help you with this too.
Some people can no longer manage at home even if they have a great deal of help.
You can visit, telephone or write to your Social Services area office. All these offices are wheelchair accessible. We will ask you questions about your home life and the difficulties you have. We will also ask what your wishes are. So that we can assess the help you might need, it is important that you tell us as much as possible about your difficulties.
