Care at home

A range of support services to help people live independently in their own home.

Community care

Community care is about helping people to live independently by providing the support most appropriate for a person's needs. To do this an assessment is carried out.

Home care services

As part of a Community Care Assessment, the Adult Care Team identifies a person's requirement for Home Care Services. The following explains the Home Care Services in Calderdale.

Independent businesses

If you need special help with personal, domestic or other care needs in your own home then you may wish to purchase services other than those you may be eligible for help from Adults, Health and Social Care.

Personal budgets

If you are an adult needing help with social care, you could have choice and control over the services you use to meet your needs by using a Personal Budget.

Reablement

Reablement - help to regain your independence at home.

Respite care

Studies have shown that there are increased levels of stress, ill health and mental health problems in those people who undertake a caring role. Carers and the "cared for" can benefit from day respite or residential respite.
