Most people find there are times when they need help from someone.
Illness,
disability or frailty are just a few examples of the circumstances which can
make it difficult for a person to cope with daily life.
Often families, friends and neighbours are able to help, but sometimes extra
care is needed, and that is where Social Care and Health can help.
Our home
care service aims to support people in their own homes.
We provide services
seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, between 6am and 11pm.

Aims of the Home Care Service
The Home Care services aims to:
Provide high quality and practical assistance to enable people to carry on
living in their own homes for as long as possible.
Provide services which meet individually assessed needs.
Enhance self-help and independence.
Support carers, allowing them time for themselves.
There is a scale of charges for home care
services, with a maximum and minimum charge.
A financial assessment will be
carried out to work out how much you will have to
T
pay
.
The level of service by Social Care and Health is related to your own and your
carers' assessed needs.
An
T
assessment
of these needs will normally have been carried out by someone from your local
Social Care and Health office.
Social Care and Health or a private organisation can provide these services.
