A new directory packed with useful information about the care available to people across the county is now available. The Derbyshire Care Services Directory has been produced as a partnership between Derbyshire County Council and Care Choices Directories which has published it. The free directory detailing what type of care is available includes a comprehensive list of residential care homes and gives information on how people can find assistance and support in their own homes. There is also guidance on paying for care and what financial assistance is available. People who want to receive a copy of the Derbyshire Care Services Directory can do so by calling the county council's contact centre Call Derbyshire on 08 456 058 058 . Care Choices also operates a free public information service which provides a shortlist of care homes that match individuals' personal preferences, more detailed information about organisations providing care and answering specific questions. The number for the information service is 0800 3892077 . Derbyshire County Council cabinet member for adult social services Councillor Dave Allen said: "The new directory is full of information for people looking for care homes or care services in their own home. "I am sure anyone who wants information like this will find it a useful and comprehensive guide." |
