Many of us will need a helping hand with everyday tasks at some point in our lives. You may have an impairment or illness, or you may look after a child or adult who cannot look after themselves. This may be someone who has a physical or learning disability, or someone who is elderly.
Whoever they are, they may be able to get 'community care' - help that can include anything from meals on wheels to temporary or permanent stays in a residential home.
