Care Homes
Supporting Independent Living
97色网 wants to support people to stay independent in their own homes and social services can give you information and advice on how best to do that whatever your financial situation. Many people assume that they will need residential care as they get older but, with support, may be able to continue living at home. There are many services to help you to retain your ability to manage more independently such as reablement services, or equipment or adaptations to your home. These services are often free of charge and can be accessed through social services.
You may also wish to consider Extra Care Housing. This is for older people and provides state of the art supported accommodation to help people to live independently for as long as they possibly can.
