Personal Care

This service provides support in your own home. It is available to older people, disabled people, adults with learning disabilities and people with mental health problems who meet our eligibility criteria.

The level of home care provided to you will depend on your individual needs and circumstances. These will be discussed with you when you take part in an assessment.

There will be a charge for this service.

Carers from the Council, or our approved partners, will help you with daily living tasks such as personal care (washing and dressing). They may also be able to help with cleaning and shopping if it is part of your care plan. The aim is to help you to keep your independence, skills and confidence.

The Council also runs a number of specialist care at home services providing support for people with dementia, people with complex needs and those who need help during the night.

For information and advice on equipment for daily living click here to access AskSARA, the Disabled Living Foundation's free on-line self-assessment tool.

Blackpool Signposting Service

Have you ever had the feeling that someone somewhere in Blackpool knows what you want to know – if only you knew who they were? Blackpool Signpost Service can help to put you in touch with services and organisations throughout Blackpool. If you tell us what you want to know we will find the information you need and pass it on to you.

You can use Blackpool Signpost Service if you:

· are over 18 years of age;
· live in Blackpool

You can either fill the form in yourself or ask someone to do it for you. The more information you give us the better the information we will be able to give you. The important thing is that the form is all about you and what you want to know. If anyone else wants to find out about things they should complete a form of their own.

Click here to fill the form in electronically. Alternatively, you can down load the form from the Publications List, fill it in and send it to the freepost address (you do not need a stamp). You should get your answer in ten working days.
