After the initial assessment our staff will agree a Support Plan with you. This will include:  

• Setting up a visiting schedule where a Care Co-ordinator will visit you on an agreed visiting pattern that meets you needs (e.g. once per week, or once per month on a set day)
• Assisting you to make a claim for any welfare benefit which you may be entitled to, for example, Attendance Allowance, Disability Allowance, Income Support, or Housing/Council Tax Benefit.
• Liaising with Health and Social Care Agencies (or Voluntary Organisations) regarding the provision of care and support services in your home.
• Record any services that your Care Co-ordinator may have recommended, for example:
• Aids and Aaptations.
• Grab Rails.
• Occupational Therapy referral for bathing assessment.

You can contact your Care Co-ordinator by pressing the Red Button on your Community Alarm or by telephoning the Ashfield Homes Support Centre on 01623 608990.
