Adult social care
Adult social care provides personalised, practical support for people over 18. It supports individuals to live their lives the way they desire, preserving dignity and enabling individuals to remain independent for as long as possible.
At Cheshire East our vision is that adults who need help will get the assistance they require to promote their wellbeing, health and care. Our purpose is to get the greatest possible increase in independence for those adults, families, carers and communities who need help. We will do this by:
- Listening to people so that we understand their needs and the risks they face
- Helping everybody to get the information and advice they need
- Agreeing with people what outcomes they want to achieve
- Helping people who need, or who are likely to need, public funding to find the services which will be right for them
- Doing the things which we are required to do by law and regulations
At Cheshire East we believe that every individual working in social care can make a difference to those they encounter and that anybody looking at, or currently in, a career within care deserves the very best start and continuous ongoing support they can get, which is why we have launched our Adult social care academies.
