Help and support if you’ve recently arrived from Ukraine

Adult social care provides support to Buckinghamshire residents aged 18+ with a long-term illness, disability or health condition, helping them to remain living as independently as possible. They offer practical support with personal care, such as help at home from a carer, as well as equipment and technology to help with daily tasks. They also help people who provide unpaid care to someone with a health condition or disability – for example, a family member of someone you live with.

The first step to getting help from adult social care is to ask for a care needs assessment. This will identify what needs you have and what help you may benefit from.

If you provide unpaid care to someone, you can ask for a carer’s assessment. This will find out if there is any support that could help you. Contact us:
