Age Concern throughout Herefordshire and Worcestershire

This service is designed to help individual older people who are experiencing a degree of confusion, perhaps as a result of as a result of learning difficulties or deteriorating mental health, and who require additional support and assistance to allow them to continue living on their own in a home of their own choosing.

Typically one of our Care Assistants works with the older person for 4-5 hours per week encouraging them to maintain every-day life skills and, for example, to plan their next weeks meals and the shopping necessary as a result and to maintain the hygiene of their living areas.

There is a charge for this service which is currently £8.50 per hour.

Referrals are made by Health or Social Care professionals. Carers or family members who wish to investigate whether a referral is possible can contact the Duty Team for Older People at the Bromsgrove Office of the Social Services Department by telephoning [01527] 575855.
