Services For Older People
We provide a range of services to help older people to live a
comfortable life, and remain living in their own home for as long
as possible.
Older people have told us that they want to be able to receive
support services in their own homes, or local communities, and we
are able to offer a range of ways for people to do that. If you
think than any of these services would help you, or someone you
care for, please contact the Community Care Access Team on 0845 30
111 20 or by email at AccessTeam@pkc.gov.uk
Our delivered meals service means that nutritious meals are
delivered directly to someone's door. This is available right
across the Perth and Kinross area.
The reablement service helps people to regain or develop
independence, enabling them to undertake tasks around the home.
Our mainstream home care service provides regular support to
people in their homes to assist them with everyday activities.
Telecare, incorporating community alarm, provides peace of mind
for individuals and their families by providing a 24-hour response
service.
Day services for older people help maintain vital social links
in the local community.
We also recognise that staying at home isn't a suitable option for
everyone. The Council runs three
residential homes, and works closely with other homes in the
area for people who need this level of support.
