Help for people with specific needs and disabilities

Below you can find information on support services for people with specific needs and disabilities. It covers various topics, including finding suitable accommodation, making home adaptations, accessing short breaks, and continuing care when moving to or from Nottingham.

Types of Residential Care - information on the various types of care options available and to find suitable accommodation.

HomeLink - keeps track of people waiting for social housing and helps them get homes. It allows eligible residents to choose and apply for available homes. Additionally, it helps tenants swap homes with each other.

Nottingham City Council Housing Support - provides broader support for tenants, including repairs, payments, independent living, and community engagement.

Shared Lives - offers accommodation and support, including short breaks, within approved family homes for people aged 18 and over whom have a learning disability.

Adaptations are changes made to your home to help you carry out daily activities more easily and safely. Adapting your home can make a significant difference if you are living with an illness or disability. These can range from simple modifications like installing grab rails to more substantial changes such as fitting stair lifts or ramps.

If you are receiving Adult Social Care services and you're considering moving to, or moving away from Nottingham City we want to make sure that this care and support continues. We call this 'continuity of care'.

NHS Nottingham City Clinical Commissioning Group, Nottingham City Council and Nottingham CityCare Partnership are working together to integrate adult health and social care services as part of a five-year programme to improve and streamline care for citizens.

Integrated care aims to 'join up' health and social care to meet the needs of an ageing population and transform the way that care is provided for people with long-term conditions, enabling people with complex needs to live healthier, fulfilling and independent lives

Some people in Prisons or Approved Premises need support to do the everyday things that most of us take for granted. The social care system provides this support for those who need it, to help them keep their independence and dignity.

To find out how to access this support please see our document below.

The Nottingham Autism Support Service offers Person Centred Community based support in Nottinghamshire, Nottingham and Derbyshire to Autistic children and adults funded by Direct Payments. 

Nottingham City Council's Adult Social Care Services

If you need some help to get around the home, do simple tasks or need to see what help and support you can receive to make your Daily Living easier, then the Social service can help by providing an assessment to look into your needs.

Nottingham Health & Care Point

If you need advice on where to get help and support, including what's available on care, disability, stroke, nursing services, community services, speech and others. Then by Calling the Health and Care Point, you will speak to someone trained in health and social care. In that case, they will understand the call and know where to get help if they can't resolve it themselves.

If your query or concern is urgent and is outside these hours, please call the Emergency Duty Team on 0115 876 1000
