Connect Bassetlaw seeks to support people to address issues such as unstable and inappropriate accommodation, loneliness and isolation and financial uncertainty. The support on offer is varied and includes brief interventions, time-limited support and intermittent long-term, low-level care.
The team can provide support remotely, face-to-face or in group settings.
The principle aim of the service is to prevent, reduce and delay the need for statutory Adult Social Care support, and to enable people to be as independent as possible building upon their own strengths and opportunities, and those of their family and community.
