Who assesses care needs here

Surrey is normally the adult social care authority for Epsom and Ewell; Epsom and Ewell Council remains important for local housing, community support, and adaptations.

How funding and financial assessments work

Direct payments and arranging care

Direct payments can let eligible people arrange support with more choice. In Epsom and Ewell, families should ask the responsible adult social care team how a personal budget can be used alongside regulated providers.

Safeguarding and urgent concerns
