If you think you, or someone you know, needs help to cope day to day, the first step is to get a needs assessment.

You will need to have an assessment before we can recommend services, such as:

• equipment like a walking frame or personal alarm
• changes to your home such as a walk in shower
• practical help from a paid carer
• day care for your child if either you or they are disabled
• access to day centres and lunch clubs
• moving to a care home

Care and support includes the help given by family and friends, as well as any provided by us or other organisations.
