| What to expect then: When you or someone on your behalf contacts us, the first thing we do is to make an assessment of the kind of help or support needed. This usually takes place in the home of the person who needs support or could be done in hospital before a patient is discharged. Carers can be involved in this too.
we try to see people quickly, those in the greatest need are visited first. We will always tell you If there is likely to be a delay. | Classification(s): Home maintenance, Aids & equipment, Safety & security, Adaptations - minor, Adaptations - major, Home improvement agencies, Services, Suppliers, Equipment, Services, Carelines & Community Alarms, Major repairs | Info last updated: 30/03/2011. |
