Social Care in the East Midlands
Support services to help the person who has had a stroke manage at home are usually arranged through the local authority social services department. The person may have already seen a social worker in hospital. If not, their GP can refer them or they can contact social services themself.
Social services departments will assess the individual care needs of people affected by stroke and their carers. They will then match those identified needs with the services that they offer.
The contact details for the social services offices within the East Midlands are listed below.
