Accessing Social Care Services

Social care support helps people with practical and emotional needs. This includes finding housing, managing money, and joining social activities. It’s for those who are vulnerable, like the elderly, people with disabilities, or those with mental health issues.

If you need help with daily tasks, the Nottingham City Adult Social Care Team can assist you. This support helps you stay independent and maintain your dignity.

Adult social care can help you with a variety of needs to improve your daily life and well-being. Here are some of the main areas where you can receive support:

  1. Personal Care: Assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and eating.
  2. Home Help: Support with household tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and shopping.
  3. Health Care: Help with managing medications and attending medical appointments.
  4. Social Activities: Opportunities to participate in community events and social groups to reduce isolation.
  5. Housing Support: Assistance in finding suitable housing and making adaptations to your home for better accessibility.
  6. Financial Management: Help with managing your finances, including budgeting and accessing benefits.
  7. Respite Care: Temporary care to give your regular caregivers a break.
  8. Rehabilitation: Services to help you recover and regain independence after an illness or injury.

These services aim to help you live as independently as possible while ensuring your safety and well-being. If you need more specific information please contact us.

A care plan may include one or a number of services, here are some examples:

For Citizens, Carers or Professionals

Nottingham City Council’s Adult Social Care Hub allows you (as a citizen, carer or professional) to access information and advice regarding Adult Social Care in Nottingham City Council. The hub is home to information on preventive and community care options that can support you (or those that you are acting on behalf of) to remain independent and prevent the need for long term care.

Upon review of the information and advice provided by the hub, should you still believe you (or someone you know) requires support, you can complete an online referral form for arranging Adult Social Care from Nottingham City Council.

If you submit a referral via the hub, this will be sent directly to our colleagues within Adult Social Care. Depending on the nature of the referral, they will contact you directly, or, they may pass your referral onto another Adult Social Care team better suited to your needs.
