How do I choose my social care?
Choosing your care services can be a daunting prospect. There are wealth of care options available, but which care service is right for you? Overall, you will need to think about what you get most out of in life.
You may have particular interests that you want to keep up, or you may simply want to spend time with your family or friends.
You may have a job that you want to keep on doing, or a social activity, sport, religion or a political group that you want to keep up with. Your social care support should as much as possible help you to continue to do these things, and may help you find new things to do.
