COMMUNITY CARE SUPPORT SERVICE
advice, information and support for older people in Southwark
The Community Care Support Service (CCSS) delivers an advice, information and support service to older people living in Southwark through drop in, outreach and home visiting. The aim of the service is to maximise the independence of older people by providing a range of information, advice, advocacy, casework referral and practical help services without which they might soon require more intensive community care services.
In 2009/10 CCSS advisers saw 3775 older people and dealt with over 3800 telephone queries. As a result of benefit checks carried out, older people gained £650,000. Many would not have known they were entitled to benefits such as Pension Credit, Attendance Allowance and Disability Living Allowance, Carer's Allowance, Community Care Grants, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit.
