Gateway to Care

Gateway to Care is your first point of contact for adult social care and for advice and help to get back your independence, mobility and confidence after an accident, illness, injury or deterioration in a condition.

The council provides a range of services to support older people, people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and sensory impairments. You can also find out about services offered by voluntary organisations and private companies.

You can ask for an appointment to meet an advisor at a local Council office if this is more convenient. If you already have a social care worker, you can continue to contact them direct.

Gateway to Care is staffed by trained social care advisors, clinical advisors and duty social workers who work together to make sure that you receive coordinated care, help and advice.

Gateway to Care can arrange some services very quickly. These include frozen meals, key safes, care alarms, small pieces of equipment, etc.

If you wish to speak with a duty social worker out of hours please ring 01422 288000.
If you are a member of the public and require healthcare advice out of hours please ring the West Yorkshire Urgent Care team on 0345 605 9999.
