Redbridge Community Care
Services offer a number of services to help you live independently
in your home.
If you want to stay at home but are finding it difficult, we can
provide home carers to help you with your personal care
needs. Alternatively, you can arrange home care for yourself
through our direct payments scheme.
To find out if you can receive any help in your home, we need to
carry out an assessment of what your needs are and the needs of any
family members (carers) who provide care
for you.
The services we provide are only available to people who are
assessed as needing a service.
For more information on how we assess you, please call the
CCAC.
