The Social Care team, provides the advice and support which enables Pensioners to live independently, free from unnecessary stress and worry
Social care support for our Pensioners includes:
- providing practical assistance with changing or making appointments, arranging transport and escorting those going to outside hospitals, opticians, dentists or clinics.
- supporting Pensioners to manage their finances, make purchases, register their Power of Attorney, or make arrangements for travel and holidays (with the necessary assistance and insurance).
- helping Pensioners to replace lost bank cards and freedom passes, renew passports, and make applications for disability-related support such as taxi cards and blue badges.
- issuing wearable pendants for Pensioners who would benefit from alerting a staff member in the event of a fall.
- addressing individual needs and requests via the daily drop-in service and providing phone or email support, as required.
- as well as providing transport to external appointments, the minibus and driver also take Pensioners on shopping and activity trips and a weekly visit to the cinema.
