Carers Information Service

The Carers Information Service provides information, advice and support to carers in Croydon who are looking after someone who needs their help to due to illness, disability or older age.

Croydon & Lambeth Social Care

Social Services can help with a variety of issues:

  • Patients can self refer or refer relatives for a ‘care needs assessment’. This may result in carers, or a Package of Care (POC).
  • Occupational Therapy (OT) assessments can also be requested for home modifications – ramps, showers, toilet raises, grip bars etc.
  • Safeguarding concerns can also be raised here.
