Personal Home Care

Personal home care helps you with everyday tasks at home.

You can get help with:

• Washing and dressing

• Eating

• Cleaning your home

You can choose to hire a Personal Assistant.

You and your assistant will agree on what help you need.

Personal Nursing Care

Sometimes, you may need help from a nurse.

A nurse can help with:

• Taking medicine

• Changing dressings

• Other health tasks

This care lets you stay at home and still get the help you need.

Help from the Council

The Council may help you get care at home.

To start, contact social services and ask for an assessment.

We will talk with you about:

• What help you need

• If you can get care through the Council

If you qualify:

• We can arrange care for you

• Or you can choose your own care using a personal budget

You may need to pay some of the cost, depending on your money situation.
