Live well at home (following an assessment of need)
These teams help to find or put in place bespoke care packages for people who have an assessed care and support need. The level of involvement from Council services will depend on:
- a person's needs
- who is funding the care package
- whether we are setting up a service on someone else's behalf
This will be different for each person and we will explain processes to help you understand. It is important that you understand this so make sure you ask any questions you have.
