SCA membership is like nothing else I have had as a provider. I have worked in other counties and the support that SCA delivers for us in comparison is just brilliant.

Home-based Care Drop-in with Jane Townson

We are delighted to invite SCA Home Based Care members to a focused, interactive drop-in session with Jane Townson, CEO, and Paul Cooper, Senior Quality, Compliance and Innovation Specialist, from The Homecare Association. This is an important opportunity to share what the hospital discharge process in Surrey is really like for providers — what works well, what creates challenges, and what needs to change.

What is adult social care?

Social Care is the support given to people who require assistance with daily tasks or to live independently. It can range from personal care such as washing and dressing to support with managing household tasks. Social care can be delivered in a person’s own home, at a central setting such as a day service or in a residential based service such as a care home. Everyone is entitled to a social care assessment through their local council, but only some people will be eligible for their support to be funded by the council or by the NHS.
