If you need help around the home, a good option is to have a care worker come in to your home to help you. This is known as home care.
A careworker can help with your care in your own home.
People may be eligible for support from the Council to find and fund home care if they have a high level of needs and if not supported would face a significant impact on their wellbeing.
Most people who are eligible will have to make a contribution to the cost of their care and some people will have to pay the full cost.
Most people are eligible they can either ask the Council to arrange their care or take a Direct Payment and arrange it themselves.
We will use one of our contracted providers if possible although we may need to use an interim provider for a short period if our contracted providers do not have capacity.
All of our providers are experienced and registered with the Care Quality Commission.
People will not be offered a choice of provider.
It may not be possible to give people their preference of call times.
