Services provided by the adult early intervention service
The service can provide the following services at no charge.
- Information, advice and guidance on a broad range of services in your community
- An initial assessment to find out if you are eligible for support from adult social care services
- Arrange for broken equipment to be fixed or replaced
Contacting us
Tell us about your care and support needs or the needs of someone you know. In order to work out what support is needed by you or someone you want to tell us about, we need to carry out an assessment. If you look after a relative or a friend who is over 18 you can also request a carer’s assessment. A financial assessment will then be completed to determine who should pay for any services you might need.
Adult social care initial information form
This will help us to understand you or the person you know before we carry out a full assessment.
Complete the adult support assessment
Once we have received your form, you will receive an email receipt. A member of the adult early intervention service will contact you within five working days to confirm we have received your form, and identify any further questions we may have.
He or she may arrange a time for your assessment or the assessment of the person you have told us about. They may also direct you to information, advice and guidance that is available in the Bromley area which may help you or the person you are telling us about.
Alternatively you can contact us by telephone or email
