Adult Social Care and Well-Being

We aim to deliver high quality services to promote the health, well-being and independence of those Borough of Poole residents most in need.

We do this by:

• providing day services which in addition to providing care give access to a wide range of opportunities within the community
• providing domiciliary care services for people with long-term high dependency needs and short-term for people recently discharged from hospital
• supporting disabled people to find and maintain employment
• providing support to people with drug and/or alcohol dependency issues
• promoting the well-being of vulnerable people within the wider community through a range of partnerships with the NHS locally and a range of voluntary organisations
• providing care management assessment and some direct provision for people with a learning disability
• promoting the well-being of vulnerable people who often need to be looked after in residential or nursing homes, and those being cared for at home. 

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has published findings of a recent inspection of adult social services in Poole.  An Action Plan has been produced to address the recommendations of the report .
