Adult Social Care

Bridgend County Borough Council provides social care services for people over 18 years, who need support, care or protection including:

	People leaving hospital.
	Older people and adults with a physical disability, learning disability or mental health issues.
	People who need support to care for someone else.

We work in partnership with health service organisations and other community based organisations to provide care services.

Most people with social care needs prefer to stay in their own home and we can help this to happen by providing support which includes:

	Personal care
	Supported activities in day centres and other community settings
	Home adaptations or special equipment to help people with an illness or disability with their everyday activities
	Information about Emergency Alarms
	Information about hot meals
	Support for people with visual or hearing difficulties
	Re-ablement and rehabilitation
	Support for vulnerable adults

We can help with:

	Managing your own care
	Support to enable you to access training or employment
	General support, advice and information

We can also help to arrange residential or nursing home care if this is the better choice than staying at home.

Plus, we also:

	Administer the Car Parking Badges for Disabled Persons Scheme.
	Provide support for asylum seekers (referred and financed by the Home Office), refugees and their families.

We will carry out an assessment of your needs to work out what your needs are, how you can best be helped and if you are eligible for our services. The assessment is free, but if you are eligible for our services you may have to pay a fixed charge. This is called Fairer Charging.

The links on the left-hand side of this page will give you more information about the services we provide.
