What help can I get?

Here are some of the ways in which good care services might be able to help:

• They can provide a home help or someone to collect your pension.
• They can get you to a day centre so you have company during the day.
• You could have a volunteer to help take you out or transport to take you to the library, a class or club.
• They can offer advice about your welfare benefits or get help for a relative or friend who normally looks after you.
