The Better Health, Better Wealth Team in Stockton-On-Tees can provide various services in the community to those 65 and over.
What is available within Better Health Better Wealth
The team can visit people in the comfort of their own home to carry out an assessment of need, exploring options of welfare and benefit support. Support to access health and wellbeing services, referrals to social care services for homecare, aids and adaptations and support for carers.
The service may also be able to provide Befriending* social support for those who are housebound, unable to access community social groups and have no family or friend social support around them.
*Befriending
The service offers support to those who live alone and have no/little networks, family and friends. We offer opportunities to engage with a trained volunteer who can visit them regularly in their own homes and assist with establishing (or re-establishing) social connections. For those clients who have been isolated for some time it’s really important to promote positive ageing, improve access to services and to assist them in accessing appropriate information.
