Someone to help you

Someone to Help You with personal care

What is available?

If you are having problems bathing, washing or dressing yourself, eating and drinking, you may need help. This could include providing short-term assistance from the Enablement service to identify and plan your ongoing support and care needs with you. This could include a care worker to call daily to help you get washed and dressed in the morning and a further call in the evening to help you get ready for bed. This could also include some equipment to help you, for example a bath seat to help you get in and out of the bath.

Who can get help?

People over the age of 18, who live in Enfield and who need practical help due to sight or hearing loss, physical or learning disabilities, frailty or illness. Help is also available to people recovering from a hospital stay and needing temporary help to maintain their independence and quality of life. However, in order to work out just how much help is needed to make life easier for you, we do need to carry out an assessment.

What is an assessment?

After the assessment we will identify and agree your needs with you and discuss the help and support available to meet them. If you don't qualify for a service from Adult Social Care you could arrange to employ a care worker privately through a private home care agency, but remember to take care to choose one that is registered and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
