How to access our services
Adult Social Care helps all adults, including people who are vulnerable or who need extra support, to access flexible services tailored to their individual needs, to enable them to live as independently as possible.
There are various different types of service available for adults, depending on your needs.
Before we can arrange any services, you will need to follow two simple steps:
1. Contact us to arrange an assessment
You will need to have an assessment before we can arrange care services for you, so we can find out the best way to help you. To apply for an assessment, please contact us on 0113 222 4401 (minicom 0845 127 0113) or you can email us.
- Or you can speak to someone in person by visiting your local one stop centre.
2. Complete the assessment process with us
When you contact us, we will arrange for your needs to be fully assessed by a member of staff. During this assessment process we will talk with you about any difficulties you may be having and what help you would like. At the end, we will produce a report about the services and support you may need. We will always take your views into account. Read more about the assessment process.
