Services for Older People

We offer a wide range of support and care services for older people and the people who look after them. What help you may be able to receive is dependent on your particular situation.

It may be that you need help because you have a disability, are in poor health, have mental health needs or because you are frail.

We aim to make a difference to people's lives by enabling them to:

• Become more independent
• Enjoy a better quality of life
• Have better life chances, and
• Be protected from harm.

Who can we help?
Unfortunately we can't help everyone, so we have to decide who is in most need. We have guidelines to help us do this. The Government set these guidelines to make sure that everyone in the country has the same chance of getting help.

When you first contact us, we will ask some questions to find out what support you may need and if you qualify to have an 'assessment'.
