Community Care FAQs

Accordion in HTML5

What is community care?

Community care is a range of services intended to help vulnerable people live independently through supported living. Community care services support people who need help in their day to day lives so that they can remain in their own homes and enjoy a healthy, social lifestyle.

Who is community care for?

A lot of community care work supports elderly people, people with a mental illness or physical or learning disability. Broadly, anyone who needs help with the personal care and daily life at home can benefit from community care, which also promotes activities, learning, fun and socialising to improve quality of life.

What does a community care worker do?

Community care workers support people in both social and physical activities. Physical care might involve mobility, personal care and hygiene, toilet and continence care, as well as helping to administer medication. Home help tasks could include meal and hot drink preparation, light housework and pet care. Social care requires compassion and empathy to have conversations with clients and encourage their activities and mental wellbeing.

What does outreach support mean?

Outreach support focuses on the non-medical, companion centred-care people need. An outreach worker may support a person with life skills like housework, cooking, shopping, and budgeting, activities like hobbies, sports, and learning, as well as using transport.

What is a community care assessment?

A community care assessment is an assessment and recommendation of your care needs at home by the council. To determine any day to day support you might need, you or a representative can apply for a needs assessment from your local council. During the assessment an occupational therapist or social worker will discuss how you manage with daily tasks and life around home. It’s a good idea to have a friend or relative with you as they can help explain your situation. The council will then make suggestions on any changes you might need, including care help like supported living and outreach care. Generally, you’ll be expected to pay for your own social care, but there will be a follow up means test to see if the council will contribute to the cost.
