A NEW directory which provides information about care choices across Worcestershire has been released.

Worcestershire Care Services Directory 2014/15, published by Care Choices Ltd in association with Worcestershire County Council, explains available care options and also includes listings of care providers for residential care or care in the home.

There is also guidance on paying for care and what financial assistance is available from the Government.

Robert Chamberlain, publisher of the directory, said: “When choosing care you should be armed with the most up-to-date information to help you decide which kind of care is most suitable, who will provide it and how it is to be funded.

“The Care Services Directory is an invaluable source of information for anyone considering long term care.”

For local information and advice or to request a paper copy of the directory call Worcestershire Health and Social Care Access Service on 0845 607 2000.

An electronic form of the directory, together with a spoken word option, is available at carechoices.co.uk/region/west-midlands/worcestershire
