At VLS Solicitors we specialise in community care law and are committed to ensuring that individuals receive the highest standard of care and support as outlined in the Community Care Act 2014. Our experienced legal team are well-versed in handling cases related to the Act and can provide comprehensive legal assistance to those facing challenges in accessing the care they require.

Our community care services cover a wide range of issues, including:

- Failure to Carry Care: We offer legal guidance and representation for individuals who have experienced a failure on the part of local authorities or care providers to arrange suitable care services. Our legal team can assess your situation, gather evidence, and advocate on your behalf to ensure that your rights are upheld and that the necessary care is put in place.

- Failure to Provide a Suitable Level of Care Following an Assessment: If you believe that your needs have not been adequately assessed or that the care provided falls below the appropriate standard, our team can assist you in challenging the decision. We will work diligently to demonstrate the disparity between the assessed needs and the level of care provided, aiming to secure a fair and suitable care package.

- Withdrawal or Reduction of a Previous Level of Care: Should your care package be reduced or withdrawn without proper justification or consultation; our community care lawyers can support you in challenging the decision. We will thoroughly review the circumstances, gather evidence, and advocate for the reinstatement of the previous level of care to ensure that your needs are adequately met.

- Closure of Care Facilities: In cases where important care facilities, such as day centres, care homes, or respite centres, are facing closure or have already closed, our legal team can offer guidance and representation.

At VLS Solicitors, we understand the vital importance of receiving the right level of care and support, and we are dedicated to protecting the rights and well-being of our clients. Our community care lawyers are knowledgeable and committed to providing exceptional legal assistance throughout the process to help you achieve a satisfactory resolution to your community care issues.
