Arranging and funding care in Renfrewshire
Adult social care in Renfrewshire is run by Renfrewshire Council. Ask Renfrewshire 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
NHS hospitals in Renfrewshire include Royal Alexandra Hospital. If your relative is coming home from hospital, care can start at short notice when a suitable carer is available near them. Tell us the discharge date as early as you can, and see short-notice care.
