In Brent we want all our residents to live their best life safely and independently in their local communities.
But if you need extra support due to a disability, long-term condition, mental health needs, or age, we are here to help you live a fulfilling life.
What is Adult Social Care?
Unlike NHS healthcare, social care aims to support you in your home, care home, or community. Our dedicated teams work with you to provide the care and support you need, right where you feel most comfortable, to live your best life.
There are a range of services available, including:
- Personal care – help with daily tasks like washing, dressing, and meal preparation
- Residential care – care home support for those who need ongoing assistance or 24-hour support
- Reablement services – short-term help to help people who want to regain skills, independence or confidence in your home
- Day care services– social activities and support in the community
Who we help
If you live in Brent, you may be eligible for care support from the council if you are 18 or over and:
- have a disability, learning disability, or autism
- are an older person needing extra help to live independently
- have mental health needs that affect your daily life
- are recovering from a hospital stay and need short-term assistance
- are a carer looking after a friend or relative and need support for yourself.
We’re here to help
Brent Council is here to support you at every step of your care journey. There are a number of ways we can help you to stay in control of your care and understand all the options available. Sometimes, we can offer help without needing to do a full assessment.
