Arranging and funding care in East Dunbartonshire
Adult social care in East Dunbartonshire is run by East Dunbartonshire Council. Ask East Dunbartonshire Council for a free needs assessment: apply for a needs assessment on GOV.UK. A needs assessment is worth having even if you plan to pay for care yourself, because it sets out the help needed in writing.
In Scotland, personal care from the council is free if the care needs assessment shows it is needed, whatever the person's age, income or savings, and NHS nursing care at home is free; the council may charge for other help, such as housework (mygov.scot). Benefits such as Attendance Allowance and NHS Continuing Healthcare can also help; see paying for care at home.
Coming home from hospital
There is no main NHS hospital inside East Dunbartonshire; the nearest include Stobhill Hospital (about 5 miles away) and Victoria Memorial Cottage Hospital (about 6 miles away).
