What is Adult Social Care?
Adult Social Care (also known as social services) is a service that aims is to help adults live longer and healthier lives and be independent for as long as possible. We do this by making sure that you have the support you need, when you need it, for as long as you need it.

- Occupational therapy
- Direct payments so that you can arrange your own care and support
