Services and advice for older people

Most older people enjoy active, independent lives looking after themselves and others.

But as we get older - illness, disability or memory problems can take their toll and sometimes people need support to look after themselves.

If you feel you need help, complete a social work appointment request.

If you need support to care for a relative or friend, complete the Carer assessment referral form.

If it's urgent, phone your social work office and ask to speak to the duty officer.

You can also watch our videos on home care, day care and residential care.
