Help for adults
Tower Hamlets provides a wide range of care,
support and assistance to adults in need of these services and live
in the borough.
The services we provide range from giving
advice and information through to long-term residential care for
the elderly, people with physical or learning disabilities or
mental health problems.
Adult carers
The council provides advice and support for adult carers who
care for the elderly, children with special needs and adults with
physical or learning disabilities.
Home care assessment
The home assessment scheme is designed to
carry out an assessment to determine individual residents who may
need help with daily living tasks. When deciding who receives help
we use the ‘Fair Access to Care Services’ rules. All councils must
use these rules so that everyone, no matter where they live, is
treated in the same way.
Support for adults with HIV
The Tower Hamlets hospital social work team provides a
confidential service, offering counselling and emotional support
and financial and practical advice to any resident who has HIV or
AIDS.
