How adult care works
We offer a wide range of direct services that you can choose as part of your care package.
We have information on residential care, day care and home care.
You will also find out what can you expect from us as a services provider and how you can have your say in either consultations or to make a comment or complaint.
We maintain information on nationwide data affecting social care, both for workers and providers and can help you if you are interested in undertaking social care research.
There is a programme of change to our service called 'Making Care Personal' and here you can find out what this will mean to you.
