The Support Plan
Our Support Worker will discuss with you the help you need over the first few weeks following
your operation or illness. Our aim is that the support we give you will help you regain your
confidence and independence. If appropriate we will assist you to obtain longer-term help from
other services such as
Hometime,
Day Centres,
Befriending, etc.
If you feel that this is a service that you (or someone you know) would benifit from, please telephone
Carol Sheppardson
on 01784 444200/211 or e-mail Age Concern Spelthorne by clicking here >
contact us.
There is no charge for this service, which is supported by
Surrey Primary Care Trust
funding. However, some of our other services depend on the generosity of local people, so donations are always appreciated.
