Care in your home is offered to people who require assistance with personal care such as washing or dressing, or other practical daily tasks such as help with domestic chores like cooking and cleaning, or in some instances, help in managing finances.

Essex County Council's Occupational Therapy services may be able to advise you on how to do things differently to make things easier for you to live at home. Essex County Council may be able to lend equipment or provide minor adaptations such as grab rails in your home. They can give advice and make recommendations to this Council for major adaptations to your property such as a stairlift. They may also be able to put you in contact with organisations about access to employment, social or leisure opportunities. Use the link below to go to their website and information pages
