My Care, My Way DVD

Sandwell MBC has made a DVD to promote three of its social care services to local people.

Funded from the PCT’s Choosing Health budget, the brief was to produce a film for older people, by them, focusing on services that were not well known.

The services are:
Extra care – offering self contained accommodation with 24 hour on site professional staff, to older people with care and support needs who want to keep their independence
Telecare – providing equipment and monitoring to help individuals live independently and safely in their own homes
Individual budgets – whereby individuals may receive cash, services or a mix of both based on a care plan in which they have direct input.
