that will help keep them healthier and independent for as long as possible. This includes everything from ensuring people have access to a wide range of appropriate, timely and accurate information and advice, to helping people make informed decisions about their health, care and wellbeing.

Our Shropshire Choices Support Finder is another way people can find information to help them get the support that’s right for them. This publication is full of support services, voluntary organisations and community-based activities that are available across Shropshire to help people with care and support needs to lead the lives they want as well as maintain or regain independence. To read online, visit www.carechoices.co.uk/publication/ shropshire-care-services-directory/ You can find information on:

• Finding a care facility. • Paying for care. • Carers’ services.

• Staying independent.

Our Shropshire Choices website also provides information about a wide range of sources of help and support, including independent financial information, information about care homes and housing options. It can also help with keeping independent, getting out and about, keeping safe, health and wellbeing, employment and volunteering opportunities and being a carer. Providing the right information and advice to people when they need that extra support can enable them to take control of their own health and care without relying on more formal social care and health services. For those who do need that extra support, we will remain strongly focused on enabling residents to live independent lives, with access to good-quality services within their community.

We hope that our Shropshire Choices Support Finder and Shropshire Choices website provides the right information and advice to help people find the support they need.
