Social care support from home
Arranging your own social care support
Through option 1 of self-directed support you can have more control over how you get and pay for your social care support.
You can employ your own personal assistants. Find out more in the Personal Assistant Employer Handbook.
Even if you want to arrange and pay for your own social care support, it is still a good idea to get an assessment of your social care support needs and a financial assessment from your council. This means you’ll get any advice and financial help that you’re entitled to.
