Independent Living Co-ordination & Cancer Support Service
Free support to keep you safe and well at home, or get you back on your feet
As you get older, or your circumstances change, you might need a little extra support to help you to regain the independence you once had. Maybe you can't do everything you’d like to after a recent hospital stay? Or maybe you’re finding it harder to get out and meet friends?
Our Independent Living Co-ordination (ILC) service is a three-month package of support in which we will help you and your family members to achieve your independence needs – whether that be aids and adaptations for your home, increased benefits where eligible, or connecting you up to local activities and transport. Watch the videos below to find out all about the different ways we can help you.
