Help to recover your independence
There are times when you may need support to help you recover after an illness, injury or hospital stay. There are short term support services available to help you to get back on your feet so you can continue to live independently and safely at home.
To use these services you will be referred by a health professional or Adult Social Care. The type of support that you are given will depend on what you need.
Speak to Adult Social CarePoint for a chat about your care and support needs.
