Surrey County Council manage adult social care in Surrey.
Adult social care aims to help people stay independent, safe and well so they can live the lives they want to.
This includes people who are frail, have disabilities or neurodiversity, mental health issues as well as the people who care for them (unpaid carers).
Social care can include 'personal care' such as support for washing, dressing and getting out of bed in the morning, as well as wider support to help people stay active and engaged in their communities.
Paying for care
Social care for adults is not usually free. People may need to contribute towards the cost of their care. The amount they need to pay depends on their income, savings and expenditure.
