Older People
Older People's services provide support to adults aged 65 and over, with the aim of maintaining independence and wellbeing.
West Berkshire Council's Older People's services are split into three services:
Care Management and Commissioning
Providing help and support in planning future care needs if someone is at risk of losing their independence or wellbeing.
Longer Term Care
This is the provision of care homes and day services managed by West Berkshire Council providing accommodation, support and care to the frail and elderly, including specialist services for dementia.
Promoting Independence
Intermediate Care and Home Care that provide rehabilitation and support to older people in either their own homes or other care settings, to permit safe hospital discharge, respond to crisis situations and prevent inappropriate hospital admission.
The following pages give information about these services and a variety of support options that are available through the voluntary and independent sector and health services.
