Social Care

Elderly and Retired

 

Adult Care Services aim to provide personal care services which maximise choice and enable Older People to maintain their independence. We provide a range of services to over 3,000 people in the borough over the age of 65.

 

Our future vision is to redesign services around the needs of those we help, to work closely in partnership with the voluntary, community and private sectors and to identify new, flexible and innovative ways of working.
