The outreach service has been designed to:
- Assess housing-related support needs.
- Help members manage their money and claim financial
support.
- Help members with safety and security around their home.
- Enable client involvement and empowerment.
- Help members stay healthy by accessing appropriate
healthcare.
- Prevent social isolation by helping people to access local
activities and services in the community.
The service includes a home-based assessment of suitability of
housing, safety and security issues, need for aids and adaptations,
social isolation and travel training. Other services are offered,
including a welfare benefits check, a Well-being health check, access to
a range of activities within ExtraCare's villages,
opportunities to volunteer, and sign-posting to other services
to meet cultural, health and advocacy needs.
