Services for older people

A range of services for older people and those with a physical disability is provided by the Older People and Disability business unit.

Our main task is to assess and review people's needs and to make sure that they get the services they need. Once we know that you are entitled to a service, we will provide, purchase or arrange the help you need. We hope that this will help you to live more easily and safely in your own home. If that is not possible, then we will help you to find the right sort of residential or nursing care.
