Living Better Lives in Lancashire is our vision for Adult Social Care, offering support to Lancashire residents to live as independently as possible.

We are committed to delivering strength-based support which:

  • Offers advice, information and signposting to support, which is close to where people live, to prevent, reduce or delay the need for formal social care support.
  • Offers short-term support (up to 6 weeks) to enable people to regain skills, confidence and independence so that they can live at home safely where it is possible for them to do so.
  • Ensures that when adult social care does assess people against Care Act (2014) eligibility that we do so in a timely way and offer support which enables them to live their best lives.

Practice led Transformation will:

Lancashire Practice Led Transformation will: Achieve better outcomes with the people we work with. Work alongside support already available at neighbourhood level. Ensure we use our resources in a smarter way to meet Care Act duties. Empower the social care workforce to be confident and competent. Ensure the Adult Social Care workforce understands and applies strengths-based practice in supporting Lancashire residents.
