Staywell - Community Team

Most of us want to go on living in our own homes as we grow older. There are times, however, when some extra support can make all the difference. 

Our team may be able to support you if:

• You or your your carer experience a period of illness

• You have any long-term health problems, including Dementia

• You have recently been to hospital

• A little support and advice would help you stay at home

How it works:

We can support you to:

• Access health services such as an optician, dentist and podiatrist

• Recuperate at home after an illness or fall (e.g. support with collecting prescriptions, shopping and light meal preparation, caring for your domestic pets)

• Get back on your feet after a fall or illness (e.g. accompanying you on shopping trips, get help around your home and garden, building your confidence)

• Move around your home more safely by clearing trip hazards

• Choose social activities e.g. outings and befriending

• Access transport and community services e.g. blue badges, taxi cards, Dial-a-Ride

• Check that you are getting the money and benefits and grants you are entitled to
