Highland Council have contracts with support providers to ensure that there is the best quality and range of services (including housing support) available to people in Highland. As vacancies arise within these services they can be allocated based on an assessment of need.
An assessment can be carried out which will help to identify support you might need in order to continue living in your home.
You are able to have your needs assessed by contacting the Council’s Social Work Services. Usually the Council will carry out a Single Shared Assessment for you. This involves asking some questions to find out what is the most appropriate type of assistance for you.
We will try to ensure you receive the support that you need, but some types of support service may not be available in all parts of the Highlands. We can always offer advice and try to help you access support.
All services that are offered through the Council’s Contracts Team are subject to quality monitoring, and registered by the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care (Care Commission). This also means that housing support workers should have undergone Disclosure Scotland checks (Police checks) and are appropriately trained.
See Appendix A - Contact Details for all contact details.
