SERVICES
There are three types of services and they are statutory, private and third sector.
Statutory sectors are part of the economy that provides government services. Private
sectors are part of the economy, but are controlled by individuals and companies.
The third sectors are nongovernmental and also they are non-profitable, unlike
private and public sectors (BusinessDictionary, 2015). There are different types of
services for individuals with additional needs and these services are day care,
hospitals, residential homes, community care, independent living, health centres and
also training and education.
Community care services help people who need care and support to live with
dignity and independence in the community and also to avoid social isolation. The
services are aimed at the elderly and those who have mental illness, learning
disability and physical disability. Community care describes the services and support
which helps people to continue to live independently at home. Individuals receive
community care due to an illness, physical or mental difficulties. Community care
provides domiciliary care, equipment’s aids and home adaptations, meals on wheels,
day care, respite care, recreational, occupational, education and cultural activities.
The benefits of community care is that it enables people to remain in their own home
