Assistance

Most people don’t realise how challenging, emotional and stressful arranging care can be.

Even after agreeing a support plan and choosing suitable providers, arranging care can be a difficult and time-consuming process, often involving a lot of paperwork and bureaucracy.

Every Client is an individual. Consequently the scope of Westcott's Assistance work depends very much on the type of support you require. Some Clients prefer to make all the arrangements themselves, whilst others are only too happy to let Westcott take the strain.
