Help to live at home

Care and support can help you to live independently and safely at home. There are different options and services available to you to make life easier. 

Adult Social Care at Newcastle City Council give information and support adults in Newcastle who find day-to-day activities difficult. This could include community activities, cooking, washing, or caring for someone. In Newcastle, we work on a strength based approach to Adult Social Care.

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
