Question 3 of 30
What help is available for elderly care at home?
Support at home can range from occasional visits to full daily care depending on needs. This may include help with washing, dressing, meals, medication and general support. Your local council can carry out a care needs assessment to decide what support is required. Some services may be funded, but many are means tested. Private care providers are also an option if you want faster or more flexible arrangements.
