Elderly persons' homes
Research evidence tells us that older people want to live independently for as long as possible. Nationally and locally, the demand for residential care is declining as people are able to remain at home for longer with support. As people are remaining in their own homes with care and support for longer, we have seen a decrease in the numbers of residents moving into our elderly people’s homes over a number of years. Extensive public consultation about the future of the homes was... MoreOpened 9 April 2013 -
Older Persons Mental Health Day Service Consultation
The Council is changing the way we deliver adult social care services to give people more choice in the type of care and support they receive.

As people now have more choice, we are... MoreOpened 11 March 2013 -
