Here To Help
That's why we are here to help! It’s all about choice and control over your social care needs. Self-Directed support is a major change in the way people with social care needs are supported.

How To Access SDS From Social Work Services
Initial Contact
You have to make the first contact with your Social Work Office - 121 Care At Home can help you with this in South Lanarkshire. If you are in hospital then a hospital social worker will visit you before discharge to assess your needs when you get home.
​
Assessment & Indicative SDS Budget
A Social Worker will visit you and make an assessment of your needs and whether these needs are eligible for support. The assessment will focus on things individuals can do well and those where they may need some help. Points will be allocated at each part of the assessment, depending on the need, and the total points are what assist in producing an indicative budget.
​
Formation Of The Support Plan
Social Workers have the responsibility of agreeing on an individual’s support plan that will enable people to achieve the agreed desirable outcomes. Some of the essential criteria that should be discussed in your support plan are listed below:
-
What is important to you
-
What are your specific desirable outcomes
-
How will you be supported
-
How will you use your individual budget
-
How will your support be managed
-
How will you stay in control
-
What is the action plan
Review The Support Plan
Social Work should agree with you on how often they will review the support plan. You or the social worker can request a review at any time if circumstances change and your support needs have altered.
​
There Are A Few Different Ways You Can Pay For Care:
