People with disabilities, long term illnesses and those at the end of their lives can be very vulnerable. Those who are, or care for, individuals who depend on accessing community care every day, know that losing that care can leave you feeling at risk and alone with nowhere to turn.
Our specialist community care solicitors have experience tackling the legal issues that surround care services, including the changes to the law under the Care Act. We offer advice and representation in all aspects of community care, with particular emphasis on the following areas:
•Failure to carry out a community care assessment
•Failure to provide a suitable level of care following an assessment
•Withdrawal or reduction of a previous level of care
•Closure of care facilities such as day centres, respite centres, care homes or transport services
Our team regularly provides emergency assistance, acting quickly and decisively in compelling local authorities to take immediate action to meet urgent needs. Local authorities and government departments have obligations to deliver services including:
•respite and development support both for children in need and their parents
•support or care services to children whether in care or leaving care
•arrangements for housing of disabled prisoners including high risk offenders
•adaptions to the home
•assessments and support services for people with physical or mental health disabilities
•care home and nursing home assessments and placements
•support with housing and welfare for people in the UK who cannot receive public funds
•suitable accommodation for people with disabilities.
If you, a loved one, or someone you care for needs to challenge a community care decision then please get in touch.
We understand how sensitive some of the issues around community care can be, especially when you depend on those services in your everyday life. We want to put every client first, to get you the result you deserve and access to the care you need with minimal disruption to your everyday life.
We can assist or advise you in challenging a community care decision, whether you are a disabled person, or a carer or family member of a disabled child or adult, or an advocate working in the field of community care.
