A NEW document detailing the care the people of South Warwickshire can expect if they fall ill or when they grow old was launched last week.

The new Warwickshire County Council Care Charter aims to highlight the main services people could need, while showing what level of care they should receive.

Health, housing and social services are the three main services highlighted in the document, which details care services at home and in residential placements.

Bettercare Higher Standards project officer Beverley Lockton said the charter would prove invaluable to any elderly or ill person.
