Welcome from Nottinghamshire County Council

Nottinghamshire County Council’s focus is to help you to stay as independent as possible so you can live a more fulfilled, enjoyable life with strong links to your community.

If you would like to find out more information about active living, staying connected and money matters, as well as a range of services to support you and help keep you independent, please take a look at our website (www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/care/ adult-social-care/adult-social-care-hub ).

We have an ‘Information and advice for you’ form on our website (www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/ care/adult-social-care/self-assessment ), providing a personalised booklet containing advice and information based on the areas you identify you want to focus on. This information will connect you with support in your local community and help you to make the best use of your existing networks.

We will always make sure you have access to information and advice to support your wellbeing before you need formal social care services. This is a universal offer to all, whether you pay for your care and support yourself, or are state funded. If you need support, we will make it as easy as possible to get the right support, at the right time and in the right place. This will mean working closely with local community groups, the voluntary sector, your carers and family to support you. To help you to remain living in your own home, we will work alongside organisations such as healthcare providers to develop local, communitybased support. This will include, wherever possible, reducing avoidable hospital admissions and long-term residential care.

The type and level of support you can expect will adapt and differ as your needs change. We will have conversations with you about how your needs may best be met. This includes providing advice and guidance, signposting you to available community resources and assessing your care and support needs.

If you fund your own care, we also have information available to help you to make well-informed decisions about your future. You can find the way to contact us by phone, online or by TextRelay or SignRelay here (www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/ contact-and-complaints/contact-us/contact-us).
