Social services for adults

We provide a variety of services for adults and older people who need support to maintain or if necessary regain the skills to live as full and independent a life as possible.

	Needs assessment for adults >> To help us understand how we may be able to help you, we must carry out an assessment of need. This helps us decide what your needs are and how quickly we should attend to them. We also provide information and advice, even if we decide you don't need a service.
	Protection of vulnerable adults (POVA) >> We are committed to ensuring that vulnerable adults are protected from abuse and neglect and we will take immediate action where necessary to keep vulnerable adults safe from harm.
	Help to live at home >> Many people need just that extra bit of help to live independently such as help with personal care or home adaptations.
	Residential and nursing care >> Moving into a residential care home or a nursing home is an important decision and this page will hopefully help you understand some of the issues to consider.
	Registered care poviders >> Caerphilly Social Services will provide care following an assessment of your needs. However there are many other organisations that provide a whole range of care services in your home or in accommodation, with support.
