How can social care services help?
Asking for help is sometimes the
hardest thing we have to do. But help is there and could really
improve the quality of your life.
The best social care services help people live their lives to
the full and are a positive experience for the people who use
them.
Here are some of the ways in which good care services might be
able to help:
- you could have a volunteer or transport to take you to the
library, a class or a club
- they can provide a home help or someone to collect your
pension
- they can get you to a day centre so you have company during the
day
- they can offer advice about your welfare benefits or get help
for a relative or friend who normally looks after you
You might benefit from these services if you are:
- getting older and find it difficult to do ordinary things
around your home
- ill, or have been in hospital, and need some care while you get
better
- an adult over 18, living with a physical or learning disability
and caring for someone and need more help to do this
Whatever your personal situation, finding the right care is
important. It will change the way you live now and the quality of
your life in the future.
