What kind of help can you get?

Care at home

Care at home services provide help for people who need assistance while living at home, particularly after an illness, a spell in hospital or an unexpected event such as an accident or fall. You can get help with personal care, which is normally free for anyone over 65 (e.g. help with washing, dressing, taking medication, etc.), and in some circumstances you can get homecare help with domestic tasks such as shopping, housework, etc (there is normally a charge for this). This service is based on an assessment and prioritisation of need.
