I need help with day-to-day tasks such as getting in and out of bed, dressing and washing. Where can I get help?
Whilst family and friends are normally the first line of support, Social Services Departments within your Local Authority can provide not only advice but also direct help. There can sometimes be a charge for services such as meals-on-wheels and home-help. Private agencies also provide support but these can be costly. As a first step contact your GP and request an assessment of your needs at home.
