Care and support in Nottinghamshire

As you get older, or if you have problems with your health or mobility, then living independently and safely can become increasingly challenging. Here you can find out ways to support yourself or improve your quality of life and we will help you find the support and tools to do this. 

We have two short videos about how to get information and how to get support. 

Nottinghamshire Help Yourself

The first place to look is Nottinghamshire Help Yourself which brings together a range of care and support providers with information about activities, events and groups all in one place.

If you can't find the service you're looking for let us know and we'll contact providers to try and close that gap. 

We also provide some services to help you keep independent which you can access at anytime, without the need for any type of assessment.

If you need more support

If after exploring these options you feel you may need more support, then you might need to have a Care and Support Assessment. This will allow you to explain the things you are finding hard to achieve and we will discuss with you how we might be able to help you. 

The aim of the assessment will always be to help you regain or maintain a level of independence.  We will carry out the assessment in the most proportionate way depending on your needs, this could be over the telephone or at one of our clinics.  

Please contact us on 0300 500 80 80, an advisor can help you with your options and may complete a referral for a care and support assessment.
