Care facilities and support can provide service for people of all ages with moderate to severe disabilities, those who are frail or aged, the younger person with a disability, the terminally ill, persons with dementia and those who need support after being discharged from hospital.
Services can be either in-house, that is residential care, or public/recreational. It is important to remember that these services are not exclusive to clients, but are also accessible to the client’s families and/or carers.
The following pages show a variety of services that could be of value to your clients. You will need, therefore, to know how to access these services on the client’s behalf. Your organisation should hold databases which contain information about the various service providers and specialists who might be of use to your clients.
