How do I know if my family member qualifies for social care support?

Anyone aged 18 or over who needs help with daily living activities due to a disability, health condition or impairment may be eligible for social care support. The first step is to contact your local authority for a care needs assessment, which we can help guide you through. This assessment will determine what support is needed and potential funding options available.

+

What funding is available to help pay for social care?

There are several funding routes available, including local authority funding, NHS Continuing Healthcare, and Personal Health Budgets. We can help signpost you to the right organisations and support you in understanding your options. Many of our clients successfully access funding support - while we cannot provide direct financial advice, we do have extensive experience in helping families navigate the system.

What's the difference between social care support and healthcare assistance, and which service do we need?

The key difference lies in whether support is needed for ongoing health conditions or support with daily living needs, social interaction and associated with a disability rather than a healthcare condition.

Individuals who require social care support may have a learning disability, autism or physical disability. This focuses on enabling people to live well day-to-day through:

  • Personal care and daily living support

  • Building independence and life skills

  • Community access and social inclusion

  • Emotional wellbeing and maintaining relationships

  • Support with education or employment goals

  • Medication management

Healthcare Assistance is usually related to rehabilitation, recovery or managing specific long term medical needs. This includes:

  • Management of complex heath needs

  • Support with specialist medication administration

  • Care following hospital discharge

  • Rehabilitation support

  • Help managing health conditions

  • Supporting treatment plans from healthcare professionals

Many people we support benefit from both types of care, particularly those with complex needs. We can help coordinate these services together and guide you through the different funding options available through local authorities and the NHS.

Our team will work closely with you to understand your specific situation and ensure you receive the right combination of support to meet your needs.

How do you support clients to become more independent over time?

Building independence is at the core of our approach. We begin by identifying skills and activities that matter most to you, then create a step-by-step plan to develop confidence and ability in these areas. Our support workers use a coaching approach, providing just enough assistance while encouraging self-reliance. We celebrate progress through regular reviews and adjust support accordingly as independence grows. Our goal is always to help you achieve the highest level of autonomy possible while maintaining safety and wellbeing.
