Requesting a care assessment

Find out more about requesting an assessment to help best support your care needs both formally and informally.

If you need support to look after yourself, there are many options available, both formal and informal.

Informal support can come from family, friends, or neighbours. 

It can also come from local communities, such as lunch clubs for older people, support groups for people with dementia and their families, activities for young adults with learning disabilities or autism, and support for carers.

Formal support can be requested from Knowsley Council.

Assessments

We will assess your care and support needs to see if you are eligible for support from the council.
