Independent Support Brokerage for Independent Minded People

Care Alternatives offers its clients choice in planning for greater independence and wellbeing in their lives.

This service is essential as social care has become means tested and rationed, operates like a postcode lottery and is often available only when the need becomes desperate.

The situation can only get worse as the population ages and as fewer working people shoulder an ever greater tax burden. It is difficult for the individual and their family to navigate around the complicated bureaucratic system to find the information they need. All too often people are treated like round pegs in square holes and like dependent recipients of services when, with the right advice, they could arrange things themselves.

The earlier the intervention the greater the possibility of long-term independence, but this can only be achieved by the client and their family talking to specialist providers at an early stage and working with them to design the future. Care Alternatives works with clients in the East Midlands to provide this tailor-made service without hidden pitfalls or waiting lists.
