Care Services

Find out about the practical care we can provide in Watford, Three Rivers and Hertsmere.

// Carers In Herts > How We Help Carers > Care Services

Carers tell us that having practical support with caring roles and a break when they need it are vitally important to helping them to continue to care and stay well. That is why we have provided care services in Hertsmere, Watford and Three Rivers to support carers in this way. These are currently transitioning to another provider. In other parts of the county similar services are offered by the charity Crossroads Caring for Life.

How do I find out if I am entitled to help?

You can speak to one of our advisors who can talk you through the process or contact Adult Care Services via their website.
If I would like a break from my caring role will I be asked about my financial situation?

No. Carers Breaks are not means tested, therefore your financial situation does not determine your eligibility for a break.
Do I have to pay for the initial assessment about my care needs?

No – our assessments are free and you have no obligation – we are here to help you decide what is best for you.
Can I purchase care?

Yes – increasingly people are doing this privately or using direct payments or through self-directed support.
