Care and support at home

Some people need care and support to live as well as possible with any illness, disability or impairment. Carers can come to your home for 24-hour care, or just a few hours, on a short or long-term basis. They can help with personal care. This includes getting washed and dressed and helping with meals. This type of care is often provided by home care agencies.

The support arranged will be following a social care assessment that identifies eligible areas for support. The cost of home care is met either by the council or your child, depending on their age, income and savings.

If the young person is over 18, contact Adult Social Care Point for further information.
