Indepenent
What we want
People in Kirklees live independently and have control over their lives
Our shared day-to-day focus
- Joined-up and personalised support that enables independence, helps people to live as close to home as possible, draws on support from their communities and prevents or delays inappropriate admission to hospital or long-term care.
- If people need it, they can choose between a broad range of high-quality options for care and support and are always treated with dignity and respect.
- People can successfully manage the changes in their lives.
- People live in suitable and affordable homes in attractive places within a supportive community.
Tracking our shared impact
- Overall life satisfaction.
- Loneliness/isolation.
- Suitable housing.
- Proportion of people who live without social care support.
Cost of Living Support
The council's 'Cost of Living Support' campaign aims to inform all residents about the support available in Kirklees. If you are worried about rising household costs, help is available. You can find advice or support with energy bills, food bills and making sure you're claiming all you're entitled to.
