Support for adults and older people
As we age, our needs and priorities change - and we are here to help
We provide a wide range of health, social care, and community services designed to help older adults live well, stay connected, and remain as independent as possible.
Whether you're looking for support at home, community activities, health services, or information on residential care, this section will guide you to the help you need.
Support for adults and older people panel
Physical disability and long term conditions
Living with a physical disability or a long‑term health condition can affect everyday life in different ways.
Day opportunities and community support
Social groups, day services and community activities that help people stay active, connected and supported.
Dementia and memory support
Dementia affects everyone differently, and support is available at every stage - from early memory concerns to more advanced care needs.
Care homes and housing options
Care homes can be a suitable option for people whose needs mean that living at home is no longer practical, even with support.
Paying for care and free personal care
This section explains how care is funded in Scotland, what support may be available, and what you may be asked to contribute towards the cost of your care.
Power of Attorney and future planning
Planning ahead can help make sure your wishes are known and respected if you become unable to make decisions for yourself in the future.
Self‑Directed Support
Self‑Directed Support (SDS) gives people more choice and control over how their care and support is arranged.
Adult support and protection
We work with the NHS, Police, private and voluntary sector, to ensure adults at risk in Perth and Kinross are protected from harm.
