Community Navigation Services (Part B)

Carers Community Navigation

Adult Carers are entitled to an assessment regardless of the amount or type of care that they provide, their financial means and/or their own level of support needs, and whether or not the adult that they care for has had a Care Assessment. The Carers Community Navigation service provides both the statutory Carer Assessment function and more general support for carers, including support to:

• access information, advice and guidance; and integrated, personalised services.
• have a life of their own, maintaining social contacts and personal relationships.
• optimise their physical and emotional wellbeing, enjoying separate social and community activities.
• participate in work, leisure activities or education.
• promote and support their financial wellbeing.
• provide support to maintain good health as appropriate.
• have a voice about services for their Cared-for-person and for themselves.
