Getting the help you need

Adult Care Services works very closely with the health service, district councils and voluntary organisations to plan, commission and deliver prompt, effective social care services.

Our staff provide and arrange support, care and protection for adults who can’t manage without help, putting the users of our services and their carers at the centre of all that we do. We believe that everyone has a right to live as independently as possible and our efforts are focussed on helping people to gain and maintain control over their own lives wherever possible.
