Getting support for adults

There are rules set by the government to help us decide who can get care.

You may be able to get help if:

• you have an illness or disability (this includes mental health); and
• this makes life harder and affects your wellbeing; and
• you find it hard to do two or more of the daily activities listed below

Daily activities:

• eating and drinking
• keeping clean
• using the toilet
• getting dressed
• using your home safely
• keeping your home clean and safe
• keeping in touch with family or friends
• working, learning or volunteering
• using local shops or services
• looking after a child

How to find out if you are eligible

To see if you can get support, you will need to carry out a needs assessment.
