Yes — Guildford has support that can help carers with meals, and adult social care can also include support for the people who care for them.
| Support | What it covers | Who it’s for | Cost | How to access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Community meals | Hot, nutritionally balanced meals delivered to your home, with a main course and dessert | People who can’t cook, can’t shop, are at risk of malnutrition, or a carer who would be assisted by meal preparation | £5.00 per meal | register or enquire |
| Adult social care | Personal care and support such as washing, dressing, getting out of bed, and staying active and engaged | Older people, disabled, neurodiverse, people struggling mentally, and unpaid carers | Not usually free; costs depend on income, savings and expenditure | find out if you are eligible for social care |
Guildford’s community meals service runs seven days a week if needed, and meals are delivered between 11.30am and 2pm. If the help needed is more than meals, adult social care can help assess what support is suitable and what contribution, if any, might be needed.
