Help for older people
This is a Claimed service
Helping Older People Engage (HOPE) is funded by the Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership.
We are a free service for over 55’s, living in Dundee.
For some people, accessing the help they need can be difficult, especially if they don’t know what help is available, or where to find it.
The Community Engagement Workers will use their knowledge and experience of local facilities, services, and agencies to provide support, advice, and signposting for older people in the community.
We also make referrals for support and services to help you keep safe, well, active, and independent.
These referrals include:
• Housing Options advice/ completing Housing applications
• Benefit/ income maximisation & Energy advice
• Occupational Therapy for Aids & Adaptations
• Community Alarm
• Meals Service and other delivery options
• Blue Badge and Bus pass applications
• Morning call service
• Home Fire Safety visits
• Source activities and social groups in your community
Referral process
Self referrals, or from family member's/ carers are welcomed over the phone.
Organisations/Agencies, please email requesting a referral form.
