Access 1st

About the Service

Access 1^st is your gateway to health and social care services in Inverclyde which can help you, or someone close to you, gain support with daily living and help you live as independently as possible at home.

If you feel you need some support to live a healthy and active life, or to feel more included in your local community, Access 1^st  may be able to help you.

The team will start by assessing your needs so they can refer you to the services that are right for you. These services could include:

• Signposting to relevant community organisations for services available to the whole community
• Information and advice around health and social care
• Equipment to assist with daily living
• Services which can enable individuals to enjoy a full life with a little short term assistance
• Long term support for individuals who require ongoing support due to their health or disability
• Safeguarding for adults who may be at risk
