Care and support for adults
Adult social care is about supporting people to achieve the life they want to live.
We help people identify their strengths and achieve their potential. We focus on the outcomes they want and support them to live independently and well within their communities.
We provide support for people who:
- are frail
- have disabilities
- are neurodivergent
- have mental health conditions
- care for other adults
- are vulnerable and at risk of abuse
Our Guide to Adult Social Care gives you an overview of the services we offer.
Concern about an adult
We act on concerns that an adult is being abused or neglected. If you know someone is being abused, or think they may be, you can report it to us.
