Community Care Community Care is designed to meet the needs of all those in our society unable to care for themselves by reason of physical or mental health or impairment.

If you feel that you need this sort of help you can contact the local Social Services yourself or ask a friend or relative to do this for you. Alternatively, your GP, district nurse or social worker can refer you. You are advised to seek advice regarding your choice of residential or nursing home before you commit yourself to any course of action.
