Haven been on site for a whille.
I am wanting advise I was due to have foot surgery and advised to have a social service assessment.
After the assessment I was told that the hospital would do assessment .
Due to serious harrassment where i live
I cancelled it .
I don't know what to do I can not cope on my own .
Thank you
You first need to ring your Social Services dept and say you`d like an assessment for care.
There is usually a long waiting time.
A social worker will come out and go through your daily routine and how you do things
She/he will draw up a plan. Then you will be told how many hours it entitles you to.
Then you will be means tested to see if you have to contribute towards the cost.
Then you have to find carers. You could do this yourself, if you know anyone who would do it and you become their employer. Or you could use an agency, or social services will give you a list of people they have. Or you could use their brokerage system for carers.
There may be some difference in the way your LA works, but this is how it was for me.

She did not carry propery assessment ie the front door and the entrance in my flat would be difficult.
