Community Care Assessment
If you think you, or someone you know, needs help to cope day-to-day, the first step is to get a needs assessment from your local council. The needs assessment is free and anyone can ask for one.
This help could include getting equipment like a walking frame or personal alarm, changes to your home such as a walk-in shower, practical help from a paid carer, access to day centres and lunch clubs or moving to a care home.
