Torus - Staying Home Service

We are committed to helping people remain safe, healthy and happy at home for longer. We can introduce you to a telephone befriending service, signpost you to new hobbies, local events and social activities, or even help with completing forms and setting up direct debits.

There are lots of ways we can support you to remain safe and happy at home. Here are some of the things we provide:

• Help claiming housing costs and welfare benefits
• Help arranging for mobility aids and property adaptations
• Help ensuring your home is safe, warm and in a good state of repair
• Budgeting support and money management
• Helping filling in forms and setting up direct debits
• Helping you find support for everyday household tasks

As well as checking your home is safe and suitable, we can help you stay healthy too. We provide support with:

• Registering with a GP and dentist
• Accessing NHS and other services
• Referrals to occupational therapy
• Getting you online
• Arranging for volunteer support
• Help taking up new hobbies, skills or socialising
