Planning Your Care and Support

Our Social Care teams are here to help you maintain your wellbeing if you have a mental health need or disability, are an older person or an informal carer.

Our Statutory Teams, in partnership with Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council, support local residents in the following ways:

Advice and Information

We will support you to access advice and information which will help you lead independent, active and healthy lives and take steps which may reduce your future need for care and support.

Safeguarding

We work with our local partners to protect people who are vulnerable, and may be at risk of neglect harm or abuse.

Telecare and Assistive Technology

We can provide advice about Telecare and Assistive Technology solutions, to help you maintain safety, independence and peace of mind at home and when out and about.

Liberty Protection Safeguards

We ensure safeguards are in place to ensure people in care homes and hospitals are looked after in a way that does not inappropriately restrict their freedom.

Carers

We recognise and value the role of informal carers and see carers as vital in planning and providing support to the person they care for.

Occupational Therapy

We provide practical support which enables you to carry out essential activities of daily living, with the aim of maintaining or improving independence.

Finding and arranging the right care and support for yourself or your loved one can be a bit daunting. Where do you start? The Care Act (2014) requires local authorities to provide and arrange services, facilities or resources to promote well-being. We provide this support for people who live in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM). Working in partnership with RBWM Council, our statutory teams are here to help you to stay healthy, independent and live the life you want.

"I am writing on behalf of my family to thank you for your help and advice in assessing our mother and navigating her path into care, which was difficult and emotional for us."

We know that you and/or your loved one would like to stay in your own community for as long as possible. We'll work with you to find support in your local community, and where possible help you take steps to reduce your future need for care and support.

We understand that when people's care needs change and urgent care is needed, having the right services available is critical to receiving timely care.
