Somerset Community Care Matters
'advising and helping vulnerable people'
Somerset Community Care Matters (SCCM) is an organisation set up in 2009 by a group of people who came together to secure the provision of specialist Community Care advice in Somerset. There is an advice gap which SCCM seeks to fill.
Community Care Advice is complex with many laws, regulations and guidelines. It is an area that cannot easily be provided by generic advisers and requires advisers who can understand the complexities of individual cases.
The Community Care Advice bundle includes the following:-
Health and Social Care
Mental Health Care
Hospital Discharge
NHS procedures (including Continuing Health Care)
Older people, care choices and charging
Accommodation issues around health
Drug and Alcohol abuse
Disability, rights and entitlements
Many people have Community Care problems and queries and simply do not know where to turn for the advice they need. Or there may be someone who should be receiving such services and is not able to access them.
Quality Community Care advice can make a real difference to the quality of peoples lives.
