Looking after myself

Someone to help you - home care


What is it?

Some people have difficulty looking after themselves day to day, for example with:
  • bathing
  • washing
  • dressing
  • eating
  • getting in and out of bed
  • remembering to take medication
A Personal Assistant can help you with many of these tasks.
Equipment may help you with these tasks and to remain independent, but if you are still having problems you may need help from a care worker.
Short Term Support
You may only be having difficulty temporarily, for example because you have been ill or in hospital, in which case our reablement team can support you for a limited time to help you get back on your feet.
Long Term Support
If you are having difficulties longer term, we can arrange for you to have practical help on a long term basis.

How do I get this service?

We will need to check if you are eligible, which will be done at the same time as your assessment.  
You can search for providers of home care on ChooseMySupport.
