Being Wise, Keeping Well

Groups of older people

 
The Being Wise, Keeping Well project is available in the South Ribble district only.

The aims of the service are to:

* Help you remain safe and independent in your home
* Reduce social isolation and overcome loneliness
* Overcome risk to your health and well-being

We can also provide information on:

* Community activities and groups
* Home safety
* Carbon monoxide testing

Once we have identified that we can help you, we will then create an individual action plan specific to your needs. Should any hazards be identified you will be advised, directed and assisted to the appropriate agency.

The home risk assessment is completely free of charge; however there may be costs for materials or work undertaken subject to the nature of the hazard being remedied. No work will be carried out without your full consent. You are under no obligation to take our advice.

If you wish to use this service or would like further information, please contact us on 01772 552871. Out of office hours a message can be left on our telephone answering machine.

Your comments: “Now that I live on my own I had no one who could help me to do some of the little jobs around the home until I used the Being Wise service”.
