While our website currently focuses on outlining our services, we recognise the value of providing comprehensive advice and support to individuals and families navigating the complexities of care options. Establishing a dedicated Advice & Support section aims to address common questions and concerns, positioning Care Connexions UK as a trusted resource within the care sector.

One key area of advice focuses on understanding the different types of care available, clearly explaining the distinctions between Supported Living and Domiciliary Care. Guidance on how to assess individual care needs is also invaluable, potentially outlining the process of conducting a care needs assessment or requesting one from the local authority. Providing questions to consider when exploring care options and highlighting the role of professional assessments can further empower potential clients.

Our Advice & Support section also offers guidance on choosing a care provider, including key factors to consider when selecting a care agency or provider. We underscore the importance of Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration and the value of checking references and reviews. General information about potential funding sources for care in the UK is provided, while advising individuals to seek specific financial advice from relevant authorities. Practical tips for enhancing home safety and accessibility are particularly relevant for those considering domiciliary care.

Additionally, we provide links to useful external organisations and support groups, such as Age UK or Carers UK. A frequently asked questions (FAQ) section addresses common queries about our care services, the process of getting started with Care Connexions UK, and what potential clients can expect.

We also offer downloadable resources, such as a checklist for choosing a care provider, to further assist you. Our existing brochure is readily accessible within this section, ensuring that visitors can easily access more detailed information about the services we offer.
