The main goal of adult social care is to make sure that everyone can still have a good life and be a part of their community, even if they need some help. It's all about treating them with respect and helping them stay as independent as possible. 

Some of these people who need help live in care homes, while others live in their own homes:

Care Homes   

• Care homes are communities where people live and people work. Staff work closely with people they care for and get to know them well. They often say they feel like they are family. 

• Care home workers work within multi-disciplinary teams and with families to support people with all aspects of daily life and do this is a way which promotes compassion, wellbeing, choice and quality of life.  

Care at home and housing support 

• Provides kind, compassionate and trusted care, and support to enable people to live independently in the comfort of their own homes. 

• Staff work closely with people in all aspects of daily life and get to know them well. They promote wellbeing, choice and quality of life and help people regain their independence and reduce the risk of going into hospital.
