Care for Adults

Are you facing difficulties with ill health, disability
or the effects of getting older?
Are you caring for someone?

Community care services can help you overcome those difficulties and maintain or improve your quality of life. The main priority of community care is to give you the support you need in your own home whenever possible. There are many health, housing, and social care services to help you and your main carer.

Community care is for anyone who needs it - for instance, frail older people, people with dementai, carers looking after someone, people with physical disabilities, people with learning disabilities, people with mental health problems, people with substance use problmes and people with HIV and AIDS.

There are different ways to access services, see Assessing needs and there may be a charge for some services, see Payments. If services are provided by other agencies or the voluntary sector, please contact them in the first instance if you need more information.

If you can not find what you are looking for contact us on 0845 277 7000.

The pages can be provided in a printed booklet, in ethnic minority languages, on audio-tape and in Braille or large print. Please phone 01786 443465 to arrange this.
