Physical disability care: what it means

Think of stroke, Parkinson's, arthritis, MS or a spinal injury: each can reduce movement or strength, and physical disability care is designed around needs like these. Safe moving and handling, often with a hoist, sits alongside personal care and help to remain independent and active.

Will two carers be available when two are needed?

Will Hertfordshire council pay for home care?

Possibly. Under the Care Act 2014, Hertfordshire council has a duty to assess, free of charge, anyone who seems to need care and support. After a means test, the council may pay towards care when savings and investments total less than £23,250, depending on income; your home's value is ignored for care at home. Attendance Allowance does not depend on savings or income. Contacting Hertfordshire council.

What should I look for when choosing agencies in Welwyn?

Three questions matter most once you have read the latest CQC report: will the staff be consistent, what is the plan for missed visits, and what is the total cost before signing? On dates, 9 of the 92 listed had an inspection or rating within the last two years, while 47 have older reports. Our checklist.
