Cumberland Council is launching a new public consultation on homecare services.
The consultation aims to gather insight from people across Cumbria, whether they or a family member are receiving homecare or not.
Results from the consultation will shape the specification for new homecare services in a bid to make sure residents receive effective, quality services which meet their needs in the years to come.
The online consultation is open now and people have until 22 November to share their views.
Cllr Markus Campbell-Savours, Cumberland Council’s executive member for adults and community health, said: “Health and wellbeing is at the heart of what we do at Cumberland Council. We are committed to ensuring that residents have access to high-quality homecare services which help people stay active and healthy in later life.
“Effective homecare services help people to stay in their own homes, stay active and live alongside their family and community. We want to ensure that homecare is delivered to meet the needs and expectations of our residents.
“This consultation is a vital step towards continuing to shape homecare services that are both effective and compassionate.”
Homecare services are provided to people to assist them in maintaining their independence. People may receive care within their own home or as a way of supporting them to access the community.
People can visit Cumberland council’s homecare consultation site to learn more about the consultation and give their views.
