You might be able to get support to help you stay independent at home or in your local area. This could include the type of support listed below.
Assistive technology
Electronic devices that help you live safely and independently at home.
Day care
Support in a community setting to help with your health, care, nutrition, social life and daily needs.
Domiciliary care
Care workers who visit you at home to help with daily tasks.
Extra care housing
Homes like flats, bungalows or retirement villages with care and support available. This is popular among some older people as an alternative to a care home.
Reablement
Short-term support to help you regain confidence and skills for daily living.
Extra care independent living
Self-contained flats with care and support for people who have been assessed as needing help. Appropriate support, including personal and social care and support is provided by staff employed by care providers in accordance with an on-going assessment of need.
Mobile nights
Care visits during the night to help you stay safe and independent at home.
Respite
A break for carers while the person they care for is looked after by someone else. It lets you take time out to look after yourself and helps stop you becoming exhausted and run down. This could be at home, in a day centre or in a care home.
Supported living
Help for people who live in their own home or tenancy, to stay safe and live as independently as possible.
Transport
Help with travel may be available, for example to attend a day centre. This depends on Wirral Council’s transport policy.
