About Adult Social Care
Adult Social Care provide assessments under the Care Act 2014 for people who may have needs for care and support, and support people to improve their wellbeing and achieve their outcomes in day to day life. This may include providing support services which help people with daily living. Adult social Care also has safeguarding duties to make enquiries and support adults who have needs for care and support, and how are experiencing or at risk of abuse or neglect and are unable to protect themselves.
Adult social care provides support to learning disabled adults, physically disabled adults, older adults, adults with mental health needs, adults who experience difficulties with substance misuses and adults who are on the autistic spectrum (including adult with Asperger’s Syndrome) and people who provide support as unpaid carers.
The support we provide follows an assessment of needs to help us understand if you are eligible for adult social care support. The types of support we offer is wide ranging and can include help with personal care (such as eating, washing, or getting dressed) or for domestic routines (such as cleaning or going to the shops). These can be arranged on your behalf by an adult social care worker, or you can be provided with a direct payment to arrange your own personal support.
The aim of our support is to help you live an independent life in your own home and prevent where possible the need for support in a care home setting.
Adult Social Care services have to be paid for, and the amount you will need to pay will be determined by an assessment of your financial circumstances and assets.
