First Steps
Financial Support
Funding Information / Help:
The first step towards accessing care services will always begin with an assessment of your needs by a Social Worker or another such professional. Your Social Worker will identify local providers of the services you need. Your social worker will arrange for you (or your advocate / family) to meet the providers you are interested in, so that you can decide upon who will provide your care.
You may also have the choice of receiving a direct payment. This means that you will receive money directly from your local authority to pay for the services you access, allowing you to purchase care services of your choice.
If you have received an assessment and would like to access a service provided by Kidsgrove Care Solutions, please inform your social worker or care manager, or get in touch with us by using our Contact page. We will review if we are able to offer our support and if this is possible, will make all the necessary arrangements so you can access our service.
Direct Payments / Personal Budget:
Individuals who have Direct Payments can either use the money they receive to purchase services recommended by social services or to buy their own care services. Many people who choose to have direct payments feel that they have more choice and control over the services they can receive.
At Kidsgrove Care Solutions we can help with the process and organisation of direct payments / personal budget or alternative funding options. For more information please contact us.
