We work closely with partner organisations to make sure that older and vulnerable adults have the health and social services that they need to live as independently as possible, and that these services are good value for money.
Our Community First Strategy sets out an ambitious blueprint for preventing, reducing or delaying statutory intervention through community involvement. That includes families, friends and community support groups to aid the most vulnerable in our society.
For more on what's available in the community, people can be referred by a trusted professional, friend or family member via Herts Help on 0300 123 4044.
