Supporting you and your community

We know that from time to time, due to getting older, becoming ill or living with a disability, you might need to ask for some extra help to live safely and independently in your home.

There are lots of ways in which our team can help, from regular visits to make sure you are keeping on top of things to getting you involved in fun events in your community.

We can even help you manage your bills, request adaptations to your home, help you claim the benefits you are entitled to or give you some advice on keeping a safe home.

Adapting your home

We all hope to live as independently as we can, for as along as we can, and there are ways we can help you do this with some simple adaptations to your home.
