About physical disability care
If a condition limits someone's strength or mobility (arthritis, a spinal injury, MS, Parkinson's or the effects of a stroke, for example), this is the kind of care to look for. Carers help with personal care, move people safely using hoists and similar equipment, and encourage them to keep active and do as much for themselves as they can.

Will I get help from Shropshire council with the cost of home care?
It can. Step one is the needs assessment: Shropshire council cannot charge for it and must offer it to every person who seems to need support (Care Act 2014). If your savings and investments come to under £23,250, it may then contribute following a financial assessment, depending on income, and for care in your own home the property is left out. Separately, Attendance Allowance has no means test. Getting in touch with Shropshire council.
