However, most social care services are delivered by independent sector home care and residential care providers, which are mainly for-profit companies but also include some voluntary sector organisations. Many people will also have this care organised and purchased by their local authority, though many people with disabilities directly employ individuals (\u2018personal assistants\u2019) to provide their care and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"363\" height=\"180\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gipldemo.in\/wcfm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Home-Care-and-Care-Homes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4897 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gipldemo.in\/wcfm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Home-Care-and-Care-Homes.jpg 363w, https:\/\/gipldemo.in\/wcfm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Home-Care-and-Care-Homes-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gipldemo.in\/wcfm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Home-Care-and-Care-Homes-150x74.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 363px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 363\/180;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While some services, such as advice and information, are open to anyone, England&#8217;s&nbsp;publicly funded social care is mostly&nbsp;accessible only to people with the highest needs and the lowest assets.
