Care at home
This section provides information on support available within the home. How this support is paid for is discussed in the financial help with support section.
There are many people who can come into the home to help with a person's care. There are paid workers who may be employed by the local authority or by, or on behalf of, the person who needs care. This section contains information on what they do and how they are regulated. It also contains information on volunteers, befriending, nursing care at home and people who help with intermediate care (care which promotes independence).
Equipment and facilities that can be installed in the home are also available. These can help someone to be more independent and be of assistance to carers.
You can gain access to this equipment through social services by getting a community care assessment for the person you're looking after (or an assessment under the Children Act, if the person you're looking after is a child). You can also buy equipment privately. See Equipment and alarms, above, for more information.
There are many ways in which your home or the home of the person you're looking after can be changed to allow them to remain there and help you to continue caring for them. This section includes information on possible sources of support such as adaptations by the local authority, Disabled Facilities Grants and how to get a parking bay outside your home.
