Have your say on adult social care changes

South Glos Council is looking to increase its income from adult social care charges. Three areas are being considered:

• Telecare (sometimes known as “Piper Lifeline” or the “Life Line Service”)
• Deferred Charges of care fees
• Home Care Charges (for home care and community based support)

Service users who already receive subsidised charges will not contribute any more, only self-funders will be affected. Further information is available here:

You have until 31 October 2015 to have your say.

Have your say on "Fairer Contributions Policy"

South Glos Council is asking you to have your say on how social care users contribute to the care they receive. Your Focus Team would also be interested to hear your views.
