The role of Adult Social Care at the County Council is to make sure adults (aged 18 or over) and their carers (including young carers) who may have need for care and support in their daily lives can get the help and advice they need to live as independently as possible. Care and support can be a mixture of practical, financial and emotional support. Our role is also to protect people with care and support needs from abuse or neglect, or the risk of such, where they are unable to do so themselves.
Gloucestershire County Council helps you find your own solutions to stay independent, or may offer you some short-term support to get you back on your feet, staying by your side until you are confidently living an independent life. For those who need a plan for their long-term care and support, the council works with partners and providers to offer the highest quality of support that it can; some Adult Social Care Services may be provided on our behalf by other organisations.
