Blue Badges
Blue Badges allow disabled people to park nearer to services that they want to use. Blue Badge holders can park in places that other people can’t and sometimes get free or discounted parking.
Equipment and assistive technology
There are many ways to adapt the home of the person you care for, to make it safer and more accessible.

Care homes
Care homes offer permanent and temporary stays (respite care) in single or shared rooms with a team of qualified staff on-site to provide care and support.
Paying for care
Social care is means-tested so most people have to pay something towards the care they receive. Those with income and savings over a certain threshold will pay the full cost.
How to care in an emergency
It is good to have a plan in place in case of emergencies.
