Adult Social Care works to help people stay independent, safe and well. This includes people who are disabled or neurodiverse. People with mental health issues and health conditions. People recovering from an illness, injury or leaving hospital. They also work to support carers.
In Newcastle, we work on a strength based approach to Adult Social Care. We will have a conversation with you about what's working well for you.
Start a conversation with Adult Social CarePoint about your care and support needs
Adult Social CarePoint at Newcastle City Council give information and support to adults in Newcastle who find day-to-day activities difficult. This could include community activities, cooking, washing, or caring for someone.
Talk to us about your situation. Our conversation will look at what works well for you. This could be your family, neighbourhood, or community. We can work with you to find support and services that are right for you.
If a crisis happens, we can work with you to regain control of your life. Together we will look at what needs to change and make a plan. We can be there to see the plan through with you.
During our conversation, if you need longer term support we will arrange a strengths based needs assessment with you.
We can help you to:
- find out more about care and support
- get information in another language or format
- talk about any worries that you have about an adult in Newcastle
- report abuse or neglect of an adult
Contact us for a chat and to find out more about local support.
