Hartlepool offers a few different kinds of support for carers, depending on the situation. The main practical help is home care, and there’s also support for care-experienced parents and carers involved in complaints or advocacy.
| Type of support | What Hartlepool says it helps with | How to access it |
|---|---|---|
| Home care / domiciliary care | Help with daily activities you can’t safely manage on your own, such as getting in and out of bed, meal preparation, making sure medicines are taken at the right time, bathing, getting dressed, and shopping | Contact the Hartlepool Support Hub |
| Care-experienced parent support | Budgeting, benefits, financial stability, housing applications, tenancy support, antenatal and postnatal care, childcare options, health services, education, employment and training | Speak to your Personal Adviser or the Care Experienced Parent Lead |
| Advocacy support | Help to express views, raise concerns or make a complaint; an advocate can accompany you to meetings and contact the Council on your behalf with your consent | Complete the relevant consent form and use the advocacy support details on the complaints policy page |
If you mean support for someone who cares for another adult at home, Hartlepool’s published information is mainly about arranging home care rather than a separate carer’s support service. If you want, I can also pull together the contact details and online links mentioned for these services.
