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.
You’ll need to have this assessment before the council can recommend a service 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
The needs assessment is free and anyone can ask for one.
