Adult social care can support you if:

  • you have a health condition or disability that is making it difficult to manage everyday activities; or
  • you provide unpaid care for a family member or friend; or
  • you are being abused and need help to stop it happening or if you are concerned that someone else may be being abused.

The types of support that we can offer will depend on your needs. It may include:
