Adult social care

Adult social care can help you stay independent, safe and well for as long as possible.

People access care and support at different stages of their life and in different ways. Some may only need social care for a short time, for example after a stay in hospital, while others may require ongoing support throughout their lives. If you, or someone you care for, think you may need some extra help, we can work with you to understand your needs and explore your options. 

The following pages explain more about adult social care, including the support available, what you may need to pay, how to contact us and how to share feedback about your experience.
